Well today I got to tow with my fairly new H2 (3 months old) for the first time. I towed my Jeep Rubicon on a 18' alumium trailer. First problem on the trailer is the tongue jack handle hits my spare tire then lowering it on the trailer ball, which is a factory spare tire holder. Best gas mileage 9.2 going down hill but 8.0 was most of the time. Over all I'm real happy with the ride and pulling power http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif. The trans did search for a gear a few times on the hills.

The one time I towed a trailer, I put a hitch extension into the H2 receiver and put the hitch ball assembly into the back of the extension. Worked like a charm and allowed me to open the swing out tire holder and rear hatch without disconnecting the trailer.

We were only towing about 1,200 lbs. and we weren't even aware it was back there. We also had equipment on the Gobi roof rack. People clearly were getting big kick out of seeing our set up.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I tow a vintage 25' Airstream trailer up here in the mountains of Utah. It tows great, but I can definately watch my gas gauge drop as I head up the hills.
