I had a 33' 5th wheel toyhauler(no garage) that I used to haul my '88 samurai in all the time. I was pulling it with my 07 chevy classic LBZ duramax. It was a pretty good setup, and with the samurai only weighing about 1900#, fit like a glove. It was a little difficult to get out when inside, because I couldn't get the doors open enough. Sometimes I had to climb out the back. Not a big deal. The samurai's are massively popular and have a huge following. There is tons of aftermarket support for them, just google it. I have had mine for about 4 years, it has never let me down, not once. I replaced the stock carb. with an empi carb(about $500), but was worth every penny. It was a little underpowered with the stock carb., but not now. It boosted the power about 30%. They are only 65hp stock, and mine probably has about 80hp now, LOL. You can't get stuck in it, unless you are an idiot. Very fun vehicle to take on the backroads and trails. Some of them even came with factory a/c! I have been at the dunes a few times with it and it was fun. I pulled out several stuck F350's on huge tires, a toyota 2wd pulling a trailer full of quads, and several other people. You can pick them up cheap, I only paid $1000 for mine 4 years ago, and probably put another $1500 in it for tires, new top, tune-up, new radio etc. You'll love the samurai.
