Lets see pics of what you tow - PICTURE THREAD

I saw the thread from 1stNISSAN showing his travel trailer and got to thinking about a fun thread we used to have over on TitanTalk.

I'm not sure how many here actually use their Frontier for towing, but for sure they are capable. My '09 PRO-4X is rated at 6,500 lbs. The old Titan of course was rated at 9,500 pounds, I towed the S2000 on a steel car hauler with that, about a 4,500 pound load.

So from that, I downgraded myself to the Frontier, and this trailer

4.5 x 8' Aluma Aluminum Utility Trailer



Here it is hooked up


Here is why I bought it. I got this as a b-day gift to myself this year, and had to go to Ohio to get it. It was snowing like crazy when I got home with it, and never got a pic of it on the trailer, but it looks awesome behind the Red Alert PRO-4X!


I mounted a front wheel chock right on the trailer as you can see here from one of the other errands it has run.




So, what do you tow?
This is a picture thread, you have to post a pic of what you tow, just a description is not good enough

homecoming float:

Pulled it with a backhoe on it for awhile but no pics. The trailier was HEAVY and the backhoe probably pushed it close to the max payload


Boat:

Nice looking boat Hunter, let alone the truck, I love the deep red color

What on earth is that thing on the huge steel trailer?

Had you towed before or was your towing with the Frontier the 1st time for you?

It was the skeleton for my sisters' junior class homecoming float. Turned out to be "finding nemo". It had a volcano( that's the wood peice on the trailer.

No this isn't my first time towing. Lots of experience with my dads old cummings and a big lawncare trailer.

I have towed my baja bug with it on a single axle flat top. No picture, because the last time I towed it was to get her home to tear down and rebuild. That was over a year ago.

Only thing besides a single axle flatbed I've used for moving once. Towing is great, minus the horrible breaking power.

Truck towed the u-haul like an angry demon!

This was my Titan setup



I sort of did the learn to tow on your own thing, lots of my track friends gave me pointers but I just decided I could do this, and went for it.
