I have routinely towed a Harbor Freight folding trailer when I moved.
Each trip was 165 miles. I have never weighed the trailer loaded but
I am guessing it was close to the maximum weight of 1000#. I built my
own towing reciever using the bumper mount brackets as a guide. I
made it a point to never load the tongue with more than 70#. I have a
'67 bus with a 1776cc and two barrel carb. I towed at a maximum of
65mph and pulled it over the summit on I-80 between Larramie and
Cheyenne with no problem but had to slow to 45 mph.
