Looks nice, I don't believe I have seen one like that, this is a first.

Marathon does good work.

Now you know who it is ! Right ?

Thanks Ed

I'll tell you what. I thought toad pulling was the easy preferable way to go and I could not have been more wrong.

If you got the chassis to pull  a trailer is way way better, our XL does not know the difference between the P-U on the towbar or a car in the trailer. I can take anything and everything every time we roll, I can back up. Switch vehicals without any additional expence or complication. I have need for a trailer regularly for odds and ends on the home front.

For what it cost to set a toad up correctly with brakes and lights and the base plate you can buy a decent trailer to haul a car.

I will soon have a blue-ox and a brake buddy for sale in the very near future ;D

I picked that trailer up from a guy named Bob he had a car lot on 27 south of Orlando 30 or 40 miles.

Same guy? Looks like the same trlr from a distance.

yea Joe, same guy, same trailer!

I would agree about a trailer versus a toad! I love my stacker with an upper loft although it doesn't carry a car, it will carry everything else. My problem is, I never use it!
