Rent A Trailer? Towing Can Am RT From Charlotte to Durango and Back

[UtahPete]

Yah Pete. He just said he is towing it behind his truck. Not all trucks are created equal. My Buick Enclave (with towing option) has a 4,500 towing capacity. That's more than some of the smaller trucks. My trike and trailer come in somewhere just under 2,000 lbs. I don't have trailer brakes and never felt an issue or need for them. And I did tow up over the mountains. He should be good if his truck is at least 1/2 ton with towing package. Unless the OP has a formidable towing rig, I would stay away from big ol' steel rental trailers. They can weigh easily more than 1,000#s..... Jim

Yep, could be an old 4-cylinder Toyota for all we know

My tow vehicle is a 2007 Chevy Avalanche with 5.3L V-8. Great braking for both truck and non-braked trailer!:2thumbs:

We are planning a trip out to Colorado to spend some time riding around the Rockies.
Our departure date is July 3 retuning July 18th.

We are planning to tow the Can Am behind my truck and have been looking at a U-Haul 6x12 w/ramp . Estimated cost with taxes for the U-Haul is $650.

I don't want to buy a non foldable trailer as I have no place to store it. The Stinger looked good but at $3,000 to pricy for me.

Does anyone live in the Charlotte area and be willing to rent out their trailers?

Hoping someone has a creative idea on how to reduce the cost of a trailer for this trip. (no riding the Cam Am out there and back isn't an option ;-)

Thanks.....

I sent you a PM. There is a stinger trailer in our local group for sale. It is at a good price and you can probably recoup most of it by selling when you are done.

Obviously, you need one these:

I have a 5x10 to tow my F3 Limited. I think the 5X is too narrow for an RT. They are great and take little space and significantly more useful overall than a Stringer.
