[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed

[Drew Rogge]

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is tongue weight.
Having insufficient tongue weight is a really bad thing.
I towed a 1400 lb. race car on a single axle trailer behind
a Ford extended length Aerostar for years and never had a
problem with tracking. The van did have the factory tow
package but I think that all that got you was limited slip
and beefed up electrics at the back end. I will admit that
dual axle and brakes are probably good but it sounded like
the 1200 mile trip was a one shot deal. Just take it easy.
