Yea. I wish it had more power! I am gonna start looking for a cheap 90s 3/4 ton. Thanks

I planned to tow 2 cars with the trailer.
One all the way up front and the second car just with 2 front wheels on the trailer.

Going over the gvw is illeagal and your gonna kill your brakes. I might be wrong but im pretty shure you need a class A for doubles and with the rear car like that it is gonna fall under doubles. Plus im not shure its legal to do that with a trailer that wasnt built for it anyway.
Check your vehicle code. Chp loves to give tickets to small car transports here

Guess i wont need this 7500 lb ball or an extra 4 straps. So im just gonna return this and get a 6000lb ball which is cheaper.
