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

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.

Or are you referring to the KZ Escape?

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!
