Towing with the Raptor

[CAbimmer]

might have been the tailwind . I think dropping down to 65 makes a big difference in mpg.

Yes, mid perch

Track was freezing in the am, but was nice later in the day.

Ahh Track days so much fun. Haven't been out in over a year. I do it on two though.

Yep...

Scab

Fully loaded

Nice Hockster, the trailer I am looking at is 8.5 x 24 but not sure what the inside height is. I was hoping to be able to haul my Classic Bronco in it. the Bronco is 6'9" tall.

They can make trailers taller if you need. That one is about 6'6

Related question: Looking to tow my Factory Five back to KS this summer for a car show. I found a rental trailer that weighs in at 3k, add another 2k for my FFR. I know this falls under threshold, but will it tear up the tranny or be fine?

Guess i'm looking for others that have towed 5k+ lbs

thanks

I towed that much with a 2005 Lincoln Aviator and did just fine beside up the hills through WV. I'm sure you'll be fine in a Raptor. Lol

I had a 7x16 that I put a stock classic bronco in, no top though, u dont need a 24 footer. Im going to get and open car hauler for mine. U dont need 24 footer for a classic bronco.

I am looking to get a 20' enclosed trailer. I'll be selling my 16' open trailer when I do get it.
