Question by niconbc: If a wrangler has a towing capacity of 2000 pounds, how much can I load on a motorcycle carrier?
I have a dirt bike that’s 267 lbs. Can I carry it (not haul it) with a motorcycle carrier on a Jeep Wrangler that has a towing capacity of 2000 lbs?

Best answer:

Answer by William Rodriguez
Yes, because if the wranger can haul over 2000 lbs, your whole set up should be right around 650 pounds, not even half of the limit.

Question by Stranger Danger: Any tips for towing a trailer with car for the first time?
I’ve never towed anything before and we’re driving a 16′ penske moving truck, towing a trailer with a car on the back. I know the obvious like don’t cut corners, turn wide and don’t jackknife, but if there’s anything else out there that would help I’d appreciate it.

Thanks.
I put it in Boating because everyone here has probably towed a boat…

brake early. and watch all the temperature gauges, but since your using a truck you should be alright. sometimes you can tow a trailer and not even know its there and sometimes, especially when windy you can feel the trailer swaying back and forth, just keep it under control. you’ll be fine. try avoiding places where your gonna have to back up, thats gonna be tricky your first time.

Question by abc: What kind of gas mileage does a 15 passenger van get towing a uhaul?
I am taking a trip and we are taking a 15 passenger van and towing a uhaul. What kind of gas mileage should I expect?

Best answer:

Answer by Jungle Ape
The answer depends on engine size, when the last tune up was, condition of tires, air pressure in tires, weight in van, weight in trailer, weather conditions, type of driver…. so many factors.

You will probably get between 8 and 12 miles per gallon.
