    Never heard the term "dual tandem" before- what does it mean?

    Sure would help if folks would put their trailer info in their signature profile - hehe

    But it is fun guessing sometimes...

    For me I like the Canada version dual tandem trailer. That's pretty neat for its size...

    When it is lined up behind my F150 I don't think it would have alot of Wind resistance and maybe not too bad on gas mileage... hmmm maybe not...The first photo I was looking at was not dual tandems

    another google photo:

  • I towed a 17 foot Burro with a 6 cyl Tacoma. When I could only manage 20 mph on Colorado 550, and Utah 12, I bought a Tundra. Now have all the power I need. Took that Burro to Cabo San Lucas and back with 13.5 average mpg.
  • Well here are the spec... 4k lbs...for the escape 2500 dry.

    You dont say the yr toy... I would say 3500 ibs tow rating?

    I think you will be fine as long as you put the biggest trans cooler you can fit in the truck.

    I dont like the light tougne weight though of 256 lbs..

    I guess ext cab?
  • If you're talking about the molded fiberglass Escape (above) that's made in Canada, there's an owner's forum dedicated to the brand at this link. I'd bet you'd get some good answers there!
