How many pull a toad behind their fifth wheel
My wife wants to take her Chev Tracker to Az this next winter and we have been discussing towing it behind our 24' fifth wheel. There are some pretty good mtn passes on I15 between Alberta and Nevada....

Hi,
I guess if you already have a commercial drivers license, and the required current medical certificate, then you should be good to go!
Of course you will need a good hitch on the back of the fifth wheel, and brakes on the car as well.
How heavy is the fifth wheel in relation to the Tracker? You would really want the fifth wheel to be at least 2,500 - 4,000 pounds more than the Tracker weight. This will prevent the Tracker from pushing around the back of the trailer, especially important when going down hills that have curves in them.
Sharp turns that can swing the trailer rear bumper side to side can also cause problems with the front axle of the Tracker.
