Anyone towing a trailer?
 
Picking up a quad tomorrow..looked at my trailer connection for the 1st time & realized its not a standard four-pin connection.

Any suggestions where I can get an adaptor? Is it a dealer-only thing or will any trailer place carry it?

Thanks in advance!

Most trailer place will have a GM 7pin (ithink) to 4 connector. Uhaul has them, as well as wallmart.

Most auto parts stores carry them too.

Hey dont forget a drop hitch. I have a 12' trailer that I haul my Honda Ranch AT on and I needed an 8" drop hitch.

The adapters you can get at any autozone or autoparts store.

Have quite a few friends with them!...ALL EXCEED the MAX tow/Gross combined rating of the H2. :eek: ...You must have one of those special Light Weight units! :D ...I'd be very curious to know the REAL numbers? :) ...Even the hyperlite (stock empty) is 1000# over! :eek:

We live in the USA, where every "rating" of anything is 1/5 of what the actual limit is.

Well not ALL toy haulers exceed the tow rating. Takes a little time doing research and going to the RV dealer.
No ,I never said my hauler was light. Empty it is under the limits printed by the manufacture. Yes, loaded with all my stuff it is over the printed limit. I didnt post talking about how much the H2 would pull. Will it pull the hauler? HELL YES ,it will pull it 80+MPH thru the W.V. hills. Are there other vehicles better at towing? HELL YES.
No ,I have not had any problems. Iam an HVAC mechanic. Everything will eventually break or wear out. If you work it harder it will wear out faster. When it breaks I will fix it. Just like all the other equipment I fix every day.
I was just posting my trailer not looking for a fight.:beerchug:

Got 3 raptors...

80cc for my girls.

2001 686cc (big bore kit) port, polish, head, cam, full Trinity exhaust, valves and carbs.

Just sold my 2003 686 port, polish head, cam, Trinity exhaust and extended swingarm

2006 700cc, Trinity exhaust, fuel management system (the reason I bought it... fuel injection), air intake and extended swingarm.

I don't think I have any pics at present....
