That's about where I'm at with "Max". 22.5 mph on the flat at highway speeds, 12.5 pulling the trailer (7500 lbs with the car in it).

But the power! Man! I have to be careful if the roads are wet because it will roll through first gear and start smoking the tires in second.

That's with a Bullydog programmer on the second setting. Lets out a little wisp of grey smoke (I call it "Rolling Charcoal") and I'm gone...…

Great thread. I love seeing what y’all are working with.

Here are a few current shots, and an old dually too.

The Yukon XL recently replaced a 2002 Yukon XL with 250k miles as the joint duty DD/tow vehicle. That and the Jeep trade off on light duty towing depending on where we are going and how much stuff we have to take.

The dually can now relieve the XL from some of the medium to heavy work, returning her to a life of leisure.

Just wet sanded and buffed out 1/2 of the 1999 Haulmark enclosed 24’ trailer. Need to finish that, do the interior and I have some chrome wheels coming.

2006 Ridgeline V6 Honda does fine for me, hauling my baby home from a 6 hour return trip back home.

I know it is not your heavy duty dully etc... but I have used it many times and does the trick for me.

No way I'd tow at(or several hundred pounds over) the towing capacity of a unibody car.

I'd put a 1,500-2,000 lb limit if I was forced to tow with a Ridgeline.

I had a 2013 F150 and my empty car hauler(2k-2.2k lbs) was no fun to tow. The towing capacity on that car was 11k +/- lbs.

The transmission(transaxle?) in the Honda must be suffering.

Here’s a picture of my 2003 Silverado 2500HD that I use for towing.
