I guess you can't trust what you read ... so I'll drag the 2207T down to the Fruit Growers and cough up the $20 to have them weigh it the next time I take it out. Cheeper than a scorched tranny or bent rod!

Amazing, Jim - almost exactly what our 1707T weighs with a full fresh water & propane tanks, one extra battery and maybe 40-50# worth of "extra" stuff like fresh water hoses, sewer hoses, plastic wheel chocks, about four 1# propane bottles, a 50' electrical cord, some hand tools (wrenches & screwdrivers), pots, pans and dishes. I frankly do not understand where the extra weight on my trailer is coming from.

Thanks, jimandrobie, for the weight on the 2209, I knew it was heavier than 95-21ft Tow-Lite, I knew it was heavier just by towing it. Coming from FL. to PA on RT 95 it towed well, but when we took a trip into the PA Pocono MT's over roads I had traveled before I knew the extra weight was there. I will get ours weighted eventually when it is loaded.

NDgent, check the trailer weight but also go to the HI-LO site and click on Tow Ratings near the top. Select your year and open the pdf file, your truck is probably rated around 6,000# for the tow trailer. Just guessing, check it out.

Don't I wish! I cannot help but believe the CAT scale was correct, and the trailer was sitting on it all by its lonesome, completely disconnected from the tow vehicle.

I tow my 1996 22" Hi-Lo with my 2001 Toyota tacoma, 3.4 V6, automatic, 4WD with no problem. By the way, truck has 123,000 miles on it. What can I say? It's a Toyota

Ya Hoo, I'm on my 3rd Toyota Tacoma truck. Towing a 97 21TL.

Remember, when it comes to tow vehicles, you want the dog to wag the tail not the tail wagging the dog. Be careful and be smart when chosing a tow vehicle.

I have a 2005 Dodge 2500 diesel, 4 wheel drive pickup. I get 20 mpg on the highway pulling a 22t HiLo. I don't even know that it's back there. Thank God for mirrors!

RetiredCamper,
Well stated! We used to tow our 1969 19' Hi-Lo with a second-hand 1972 Toyoto FJ40 Land Cruiser. It was a mismatch, but all we could afford at the time, and you better believe the dog was wagged plenty! Fortunately the Land Cruiser was geared so low we had to drive slow...probably what kept us alive. Jim
