Lookin' Good!

You need to drop your tongue a couple of inches - it will haul much more easily.

I keep 3 different ball-mounts in my bed, ready for any trailer someone wants me to haul!

The Trailer came to around $4200 with tax. Brand New.
The ATV only cost me $500 with Papers (Alot here dont for some reason, and Your suppose to Register them with the DMV or youll get fined for driving it (off your property)).

In the Picture the rear of the truck is on a slight bump. It does hold it about a Inch or Inch and a half higher then level.

It hauls great, The down side is the V6 on the Highway VS High Wind. It towed Not to bad up empty, But coming back with the ATV inside it towed 4x Better because the wind died alot.

My experience is that they tow better full and heavy. They track nicely behind the truck and, because of the weight, the power is always on! (Fuel mileage, not so good, though).

It tracks nearly the same empty or loaded with the ATV.
It was actually Revving Higher empty, Because the wind was head on alot.
It was at 3000-3500 Empty and only 2700-3200 Loaded or so
