Towing a toyhauler with an S10 Blazer
I saw this and it looked kind of cute, its a 14ft Carson Mini Rebel...Just wondering if anyone has any experience with towing these. How do you think my ZR2 would do towing this?

says I don't have permission to access link. what's it weigh? brakes? tongue weight?
it's only 14ft, it depends on what your putting in it. I find my Jimmy tows better then the Colorado does. suffered a bit hauling a car on a car trailer, but still managed haha. I tow a 2500trailer every weekend in the summer(buggy) and barely notice it behind me, untill I hit some of the steeper hills. I also drive like a granny when I'm towing though.

Sorry, switched links...It works now
Tongue weight 450lbs
Dry trailer weight 3200lbs
2 wheel electric brakes
Probably will be putting 1 450 atv and a small 50 cc dirt bike. 2 450s at max

Get a trans cooler and a brake controler maybe some gas shocks if the rear sags to much and you be fine as long as you go slow and dont run in overdrive to much. Dont let you tranny hunt for gears.

your biggest issue may be frontal area. i have a enclosed 6x10 box trailer that weighs 1,000 pounds empty but is almost 8' overall height. (its 6' interior height) and my biggest issue is wind resistance. even though i have a V-nose front its like haveing a parachute attached to the back once you get over 40 mph. i dont use overdrive (it would probly never even shift there with it having the 3.42's) my fuel milage drops to around10-12 and you can tell its really working it. its good you have brakes, i need to get some on mine, its o.k. when its dry out, but stopping on wet pavement gets scary. nice trailer there, might be a bit much on the tounge weight, nothing a set of air shocks cant fix.
