Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

[HawkX66]

Two nice cars. What do you think your towed weight is?

Thank you. I can tell you exactly. Last time I went from Michigan to Virginia I was messing around at a truck stop and weighed it with a Cat Scale. Very slick set up that you can download an app to use. I'll add that this was an absolutely crappy tow. I had my tool chest and my motorcycle in the front of the trailer. To get it somewhat balanced without 2k+ on the hitch, I had to put my 69 in backwards.
The trailer weighs 3,850 lbs and my Camaro is a big block so she weighs ~3,350 lbs. 7,200 lbs plus probably 500 lbs at least at any given time of odds and ends in the trailer.

Are you towing both!?!? Wow!

Not at one time thankfully!

Expedition does a great job pulling our Cobalt.

Very nice. MerCruiser Bravo 3 outdrive? I was looking at a Stingray at a boat show with dual, counter rotating props. One was 4 blade, the other 3, and I believe the 3 blade was larger diameter. Real head scratcher for a boat novice like me.

Yea... Never heard of that, one prop with more blades than the other.

And yes, Bravo 3 outdrive. 6.2L Mercruiser powered.

There are a few variations of the Bravo 3. Great sterndrive but a bit less reliable than the competition. With two shafts (one inside another) and more going on they are more prone to failures. Lots of guys on the dock get those rebuilt more often than per say bravo 1 or 2 drives. lots of upper gearbox failures in my experience especially the first few years. Smaller engines came with the alpha 1. On the larger cabin cruiser you can’t beat inboards. A little maintenance on the packings here and there. A lot of stress on a sterndrive when pushing the weight plus you have to worry about your bellows, shaft seals, gear oil etc and having them rebuilt every few years. A sterndrive has to transfer power 90 degrees twice and it takes a lot. Sterndrives are much better for get up and go than inboards however and are better on fuel generally. They keep making these boats smaller and smaller when I go to these shows.

I got a inboard that has plenty of get up and go that I would enter in 0-30 race against any similar sized/power stern drive. After 30 I don’t have much left however.

New Expi .... old trailer in tow.

I posted else where on here ... just looking for an expert on the new trailer settings on my 2017. Anyone understand it? I just have a feel for where to set the brake number full vs empty. It looks like you can save trailer set ups?

Not hooked up in this picture, but I tow it with the Expy. I do notice crosswinds and semis, but no tail wagging the dog.
