Ive pulled an 8x8 sled bed trailer with multiple things on it, I helped a friend move, Ive hauled garbage to the dump, etc and it pulled with no problems, still got 16-17mpg. Then I used a car dolly for the first time in my life and pulled my friends 02 Alero 30 miles to a shop, pulled way better than expected and got a suprizing 15.7 mpg.

I just bought a 18' popup trailer that will get towed on occasion. Bought a R1100 RS Beemer for parts up in Green Bay. Towed it back to Columbus without incidence.

Ok, time for the good ole' FarmBlazer to show its muscle. I haul a small 4x8 trailer probably 1-2 times a week for up to 20 miles a trip. But, here are some of my more unusual trips, except I often haul the boat and I haul hay 3 times a year, and the pic is of half of what we buy, I make 2 trips for it.

1996 Blazer: 4.3 with race exhaust and cold air intake, 4x4, rear air shocks
Pics: Blazer hauling 75 bales of hay, dual axle car trailer, 3000lbs+weight of trailer, 10 miles
Hauling new Kubota tractor, dual axle enclosed Uhaul w/ brakes, 4500lbs overall, 400 miles
Hauling my old Grand, dual axle long-haul heavy trailer, blown shocks, scale tipped over at 11,000 with Blazer weight included, 8 miles
Hauling my buddies 18' powerboat, 3000lbs, 500 miles (did this about every other week for an entire summer to and from the lake)

I tow a Chaser with my LJ Rubicon stick and have done tough dirt trails and I much prefer stick to auto, plus having the 4.1 in hard stuff I can really do well with the trailer behind. Towing on freeway ok as if you have the right gearing you should not have any difficulty's. I always preferred stick to auto,,,,, more work but less expensive to repair and heat kills them.

I pulled a 19 foot mastercraft for like 80 miles to go camping for a week. I also pulled a full sized camping trailer like 200 feet up a 15 degree incline in 4lo. Plus I have pulled two quads and a motorcycle to silver lake about 90 miles one way.

We went straight on the pavement, and that might have been when the 4wd ballast that is under the battery was broken. My dad did not want to burn up the transition pulling the trailer up the hill.
