[Alberg30] Group buy of trailers?

[Kevin Blanc]

I would think something even the size of a Chevy Suburban would be 
marginal. Certainly a 10,000# plus trailer load would be excessive for 
any of the current crop of SUVs. And the Alberg on a trailer would be 
remarkably high-centered and unstable.

No manual transmissions for towing. It's just too much load on a clutch. 
I don't think any of the large, tow-enabled vehicles have manuals. 
Torque converters do a better job of getting the load going without self 
destructing.

I have a 230 hp Trooper that I use to pull a utility trailer around. The 
Trooper is rated to tow 5,000#.  I'm not comfortable with anything more 
than 3,000#.

Frankly, I'd leave the towing to someone with a very heavy duty truck.
