Weekend towing ok with my truck?

[Regency]

Looking at towing this in about a year and a half because detailling went way better than expected and I'm starting a businuess Carroll Custom Detailling!!! wish me luck this is the trailer I'll be pulling at 17 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCytYdR_wJY would my truck just be dogged out from towing this?? BTW what do you guys think about the trailer? Pretty dope huh?

 

[crotonevans]

you could build that yourself alot cheaper

Still waiting on quote. thanks.

Man, that's a big ass trailer for detailing. I'm a contractor and I don't really need that much of a trailer to haul my stuff. You sure you need something that big. You should be able to get everything you need in the back of the truck no?

Can't fit half the stuff I need in my truck and I wouldn't wanna damage the leather or things it's actually ideal to have either a truck/van or trailer for mobile detailling there's alot of equipment like pressure washers, air compressors, wet/dry vac, xarpet extractor, steam cleaner, boars hair 5ft brush, gloves, mitts, soaps all your chemicals just imagine what would happen if I had a spill with detailling chemicals I also need a computer and printer for invoices it's a big game and I wann look as professional as possible and it'll be my rolling advertisement because I'm not touching the truck with wraps

Anyone how's the truck gonna hold up? What will I need to add

 

[quattrotman]

I don't think you really need to do anything. I doubt that trailer is really that heavy even with all that stuff. You should be fine. I'm no expert but your yukon should be able to tow that no prob.

Alright thanks T

Dude, your fine. These trucks are rated to tow like 7000lbs. That trailer probably weighs like 1500lbs. You won't even feel it back there! I towed my Skylark across the state no problem, and that weighed around 4000lbs. If your really paranoid, the only thing you might want to get is a brake controller. But I doubt that trailer even has brakes to control. Get used to using your door mirrors though! Huge blind-spot behind you if your towing that trailer everywhere.

I'm no paranoid just wondering if a trans cooler was nessary thanks bro And yeah I'll be adding a camera so hopefully it'll help

No one congratulated me a 15 yeah old getting ready to start a businuess

I have been playing around looking at some as well. Since I do a detail business on side as well. I mostly only do weekends. When I go out to customers I put everything in my truck for now, but I have the Husky rear cargo mats to help with any spillage. It is a lot of crap to take in and out everytime. But like you said the business is really taking off I really haven't had a weekend where I wasn't detailing a car or two.

Yeah I'm going to have subs as well so it would make more sence to get a trailer and have my own water source and have everything already mounted in the trailer would make cleanup so much easier and it's my advertising as well but yeah how easy this businuess is is crazy!

Wait your own water source or just a pressure washer?

 

[Regency]

it has a 90 gallon tank for 25-30 vehicles

 

[yates ™]

So add about 750lbs. to the weight of the trailer and contents to see if you are over capacity

Good idea yates
