Think this might have put you over your towball weight so just as
well you didn't have a dolly.

Kev
Just the weight of a dolly A-Frame would be down weight,all other weight would be on the axles , but the stress would be lateral.

G'day Doug--- Just wondering whether you would tow this in 4th gear or would you use 5th???
There seems to be a lot who suggest 4th gear in the troopy's and Cruisers...
Grrr!!!

Some people use bricks as wheel chocks to stop trailers moving, but obviously putting a Toyota in the way works as
well. Good value too, saving a useful brick.

Very Cheeky,
often seen trailers parked there, but never thought of
parking the Prado in front of them. Very clever work.
