Glad to see/hear about all of these positive towing stories.
I just bought a bought a boat (
Scout SF 185), and it's pretty light. Boat + motor + trailer probably weigh 2500lbs, and then figure another 500lbs of 'stuff'. The trailer that came with the boat didnt have breaks though... I towed it home with our F-250 which we use to tow a racecar, no sweat.
I havent tried to tow yet with the LR3. The wiring harness and hitch reciever just showed up, so I'll be wiring things up this weekend. Boat is already in the water in a slip, but I might pull it out and just take it for a test tow. I'm not to keen on towing ~3k lbs without trailer brakes... esp with my family in the car for a trip.
So the test tow might be right to the trailer shop to either have them put brakes on my existing trailer, or swap trailers for one with breaks already.
I was able to get the newer tow-bar as well, which doesnt hang down as far as the previous design. Hopefully I can bet by with flipping a 2" drop hitch, and getting a decent tongue weight.
I'll post pics once I get everything sorted.
