Took our expo trailer out

[R&R Adventure]

We gave the VX a bit of up hill trailer towing this weekend. We headed past Ridgecrest to Kennedy Meadows up 9 mile canyon road and no issues. Can report CJ had a blast in the river. Starting to like this vehicle more and more.

R&R plus CJ

Awesome. How did the trailer work out?

[R&R Adventure]

Thanks, the trailer worked out well its been all over the country and Canada behind my full size Cherokee. I really wanted the VX because I have never had A/C when towing the trailer.

... CJ had a blast in the river.

As long as CJ is happy ... that's all that matters:)

Looks like a blast ... glad you had a great time.

We got to "camp out" this weekend (if you can call what we do camping) & never left the driveway. Storms knocked out our power on Friday night & wasn't restored till midnight Saturday so we stayed out in the RV.

Hot showers, hot breakfast, the entertainment of watching neighbors walking around dirty & hungry ... priceless.

Well I'm sure it wasn't priceless Tom... how much does one of those monsters cost again? ;) :p

Twice as much as my first house did:)

Back on subject... what type of hitch do you have? The Tone/replica hitch or the Curt/Dylan style?

[Marlin]

That reminds me, the Lock-n-Roll did awesome towing! We took our trailer out as well, dragged it 300 miles each way, 5 miles of rutted out and washboarded roads. I am sold on the new drawbar.
FWIW, I am using the Curt hitch, I welded it to the frame as well as drilled holes through the entire frame and used some long grade 8 bolts. Not going anywhere. I would guess the trailer weighed around 1500lbs or so. VX did well, didn't like steep hills, definitely a 3rd gear gas drinker. I was getting 11-13mpg.

That trailer is awesome, where did you get the nice coiled connections?

[R&R Adventure]

Thanks Tom ,
We go out of our way to make that dog happy.
The coiled cable is from Napa auto parts
It's a commercial truck/ trailer harness
and trailer connector.
