Yes any SUV should be able to tow a trailer. Depending on the type of trailer you wish to pull. To be on the safe side contact your local Uhaul dealer. they have an extensive database to let you know what your vehicle limits are BEFORE you go an just hook up.
Trailer rentals can run from $49.00-$140.00 depending on what size you want and what you are towing. It also depends on the type vehicle you are using to pull the trailer.
The center pin of a seven blade trailer plug is for reverse lights, not power. What type of truck is it? What trailer plug do you have...
sulky or velky. You sit on a sulky, stand on a velky
If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (the combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the truck and of the trailer) is in excess of 26,000 lbs., and the vehicle is of a type which does not fall under an exemption to CDL requirements (emergency vehicle, registered farm vehicle, military vehicle, or recreational vehicle), then yes, you need a CDL.
The best type is a flat bed truck or a trailer depending on the size of the vehicle.
Brake controllers can be fitted to any type of trailer to be towed by another vehicle. When the driver presses the brake, a signal is sent to the brakes on the trailer ensuring the correct amount of pressure is applied for the trailer to stop at the same time as the towing vehicle thereby avoiding a collision.
Need to know the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and the Tongue weight (TW). Gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer fully loaded in its actual towing condition. Tongue weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. The trailer must be fully loaded and level.
It is generally termed an 'equalizer hitch'. There are several companies that manufacture them. There are torsion bars that hook solidly to the hitch, and the trailer connections are chains, so you can adjust the amount of weight you want to transfer. In about 1966, there was a promo ad showing an Olds, Toronado (front wheel drive), with its back wheels removed, towing a vacation trailer. Looked a little goofy, but sure illustrated the point!
