Pulled a couple ford expeditions out, a few z71s.
But as far as towing goes, most ive hauled is a 20ft bass boat with a 115 motor on it with 3 coolers full of ice and bear, all the fishing gear, etc swayed like a ****

I'll see if I can't find the picture in my old photobucket but I had about 30 bags of 80 lb quickcrete in the back of my old 88 on a D35 one time.

Had to lay them out all over the back and back seat to distribute the weight and drove about 15 mph back to the jobsite. Didn't really think about how much weight it was til it was all in there.

You pulled a bear? That's impressive. Id imagine it would sway with that thing trying to get out in the back.

I would never leave it on the side of the road! I took it to my old apartment and left it by their dumpster, hoping my chirping belt didn't draw any attention.

I can't believe I didn't take a picture of it but when I moved out of my apartment last year the Jeep was so full that NOTHING else would fit, anywhere. So full I had to drive to my new home wearing my motorcycle helmet because it couldn't go anywhere else. I got some weird looks.

Edit: Yes, all windows and mirrors were blocked so it was an illegal load. Sue me.

Default Strong enough

to pull this down with a little help from a chainsaw - does that count as towing?
