Thank you. I've done this dozens of times, mostly with this trailer. Some don't understand why I want the trailer to tilt up like it does, it allows me to be in full control of when and how fast the vehicle moves and eliminates the steep ramp. You see how gentle and smoothly I'm able to set it down.

It was my pleasure

Have fun and be careful. Let me know how it goes!

I just moved my 06 saab 9-5 today on a u-Haul trailer

Coolest car ever

Thank you! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np90nM2YxJfRZKM.htmlfeature=shared

Nothing like it in the world!

Thanks bro

Yeah you right! I've loaded them without keys, stuck in park with the wheels turned by myself before. Just have to plan it out.

Thank you very much

Thank you!

It's been successful at least 15 times. From a Honda civic to a Silverado 1500 HD. The method is perfect in every aspect. The trailer tilt is the exact thing that makes this go so smoothly, even doing it alone. I am in full control of what the trialer and vehicle I'm loading is doing. I've got one other video on here of me loading a Malibu, same exact way.

It’s actually better if the trailer tilts up at the front to allow a better loading angle at the ramp.

@longgracing25 Why wouldn't you recommend? And the tongue weight was nowhere close to the 2500lbs the jack is rated at. Yes, it is "technically" a utility trailer but there's been more vehicles than I can remember on there since purchased in 2015, the largest was a Silverado 1500 HD.

As long as the trailer is rated to hold that kinda weight than I'd def say sure go for it!!! If the trailer ain't weighted to do that kinda job than maybe ya try another avenue instead!! Lol Just bc ya can or are able to do something a particular way doesn't always mean ya should!! Just frrom one redneck to another sir!!! 😂 Also just bc it may have worked out well for ya doesn't nec mean that everybody should do it this way bc it may not work out just as smoothly for them as it did for ya!!!! 😄😁

​@@DavidShieldsLa just because you can doesn't mean you should.

@@muddpatterson3119 if you can give me a legitimate reason I shouldn't I'd really love to hear it. Not trying to sound like an ass so please don't misunderstand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with any of it if you know what you're doing. And just because it's a "utility" trailer doesn't mean I can't put whatever will fit on it. The heaviest vehicle, a Silverado 1500 HD, was still right under capacity. After about 15 vehicles, part of my gate broke. Now the gate is better than new with a little welding and 1 added crossmember so it will never happen again.

@@DavidShieldsLa @David Shields first I don't think anything you said made you sound like an ass. We can have a conversation about differences of opinion without sounding that way. Next to give you the number 1 legitimate reason it's not good to carry that truck with that trailer is........ It's overweight. That trailer has a G.V.W.R of 6,000 lbs Trailer weight 1525 lbs Ford about 6,000 lbs That means you've exceeded it's designed load limit by around 1500 lbs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done this about 15 times. The trailer tilting up makes it much easier, especially for vehicles with low ground clearance. It comes back down nice and easy. I can actually do it without a second person.

@@DavidShieldsLa Good to know, thanks for the reply!

@@AnitaHandy65 you're welcome!

I would not put any jack stands on the back; my buddy pulled my 2500 diesel truck onto his equipment trailer the exact way on the video, chalked the tires with some big chalks he had, used some schema rope (winch rope), and pulled it right onto the trailer, which did tilt a little bit and settled back down, I was dude no way this is going to work, but I will trust ya ... worked great

I want it to stand up, especially towing car's due to ground clearance and the gate being so steep.

Git r done

There is no way it’s easier to force the trailer under a vehicle especially when the parking brake is on and the wheels are chocked.

And rip/bend my gate and possibly warp the frame? No way does that make sense. The way I do it I am in full control of what the truck and trialer are both doing and can control it like a surgeon.

Thank you!

How'd it work out bud?

@@DavidShieldsLa worked great! Ended up not getting it until this morning, but got it on the trailer with no problems

@@lesliecrow3400 that's awesome. It's safe, easy and quick. I can do it twice as fast as I did in the video lol. Takes longer to strap and unstrap.

@@DavidShieldsLa thanks for the video it helped me out and saved me from paying a tow service !

@@DavidShieldsLa oh and by the way I did it all myself !!!

Yes. I take it off and put it under the vehicle.

Thank you. Everyone gets a kick out of it when they see me do it.

Probably, if it’s long enough. Looks to be a 2” at least in this video.

Start digging

Yes, I've done it many times alone. Make sure the front of the trailer is sitting a little higher in the back so the vehicle doesn't hit the front railing if slack gets in the strap before you have a chance to strap it down.

Amen! Thank you so much. The people that can't see the simplicity and that it's perfectly safe haven't been doing stuff like this with their hot wheels as toddlers, go karts, atvs you name it....

@@DavidShieldsLa ok I'm about to try that with my 1984 f150 supercab on my 7x14

The back tires will be at the edge of the trailer but you'll be fine. Same buddy in the video with me needed a new engine for his other truck so drove 7 hours and decided to buy the entire truck(18 Silverado) we had to lie and say we were putting a different vehicle on it because their biggest trialer was 14 which we knew would be fine. Memphis to New Orleans no issues.

@@DavidShieldsLa it barely fit had to ratchet strap the gate to the bed of the truck lol thanks for the video it was most helpful and worked just like you showed

I have to take my gate off when towing trucks. I told you it would be right on that edge lol and people think it's dangerous and that I don't know what I'm doing 🤷🏻

I've done it dozens of times, it's easy and safe. If you are intimidated or not 100 percent confident in trying this, or anything in general, please don't. Thanks for watching!

Those trailers usually can haul a 7,000 lb.

Had 2300ish left to go. I've maxed it out, takes it well and even put 10k on it once, didn't think it would spring back lol it did though and she's still giving me great service.

That trailer has 7000 lb axle capacity minus the weight of the trailer which is around 2200 lb. That trailer is a utility trailer rated at 4800lb after subtracting trailer weight. I'd say it was over the limit if not right at it. Need a car hauler.

@@rke1987 That trailer is 1200lbs empty and it's perfectly fine to haul vehicles with every now and then. Now I wouldn't use that type of trailer to solely haul a car but it's perfectly fine to haul a car every once in awhile at a reasonable distance. People haul 5,000lbs tractors with that type of trailer on a daily basis. That's why it's called a utility trailer aa it has a various of uses.

@@jamesm568 thank you. It's paid for itself twice over JUST hauling vehicles every now and then. Also when you have the tools and ability to fix it, you bet I'm going to use it!
