loaded and ready to do first tow!

And hit Road Atlanta tomorrow!

Kind of miss the load leveling suspension of the Tahoe and Expedition though. We'll see how nicely it pulls tomorrow.

Secure that load another foot or so toward the rear of the trailer. I tow a 3 ton tractor on a 16' tandem similar to yours. To find the sweet spot I first measured the unloaded distance between the Cayenne hitch and the ground. Then I connected the trailer, and measured again. Empty trailer tongue weight (about 150#) dropped the hitch an inch. I then loaded the tractor, and jockeyed it back an forth on the trailer until the additional drop did not exceed a second inch. By extension, I figure the approximate tongue weight of 350# to sufficiently safe for 75 mph travel. The resultant 2" drop is barely noticeable from the side. I'd guess your drop is closer to 4"

Here are a couple. New PB time of 1:39.01 at Road Atlanta today, so I am pretty happy!



Its kind of funny, most events, you are way more likely to see a Nissan towing a Porsche than the other way around.

Greg, great idea, thanks. I don't know a lot about trailer loading. That was the optimal spot with my Tahoe and Expedition.

It did tow very nice today, I hardly noticed the trailer back there! Much nicer starts from a stop than the old trucks.
