H3 Towing Stuff

Here's my usual hunting set up.

About 3 weeks ago, I pulled my haul trailer full of wood - it's 16'x7' and I stacked the wood ~2' high. It was about 1.5-2 cords of very wet wood. We estimated it around 6k pounds total wood & trailer (way over rated, but I was pretty careful). I pulled it 35 miles on winding country road (40 mph) and then another 60 miles on highway (60-70). Left it in 3rd gear the whole time and was very surprised at how well it towed - it wasn't a rocket at all, but handled hills well (downshifting) and had no issues.

note: I wouldn't recommend towing over rated weight. It's hard on the vehicle and very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I've been towing small & large loads for years and feel pretty comfortable. Even so, I was extra careful because of the weight.

I use my rig for everything. This is last Fall cutting firewood.
