Hey, I was just wondering how many people have a trailer for their X and carry their X around on the interstates and highways from trail to trail.

I know that some gearings, lifts, and tires don't do that great on the highway.

What type of truck do you have to pull you X?

We drive to local trails. I try to keep it under 100 miles on the road to help save the tires.

We trailer it to all of the out of state runs. We have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins with a slide in camper and an 18 foot trailer.

Cool, nice setup. I opened up this poll so our nice beefy trucks that pull our X's around don't get forgotten. lol!!

Have fun!!

I drive my Ex everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Even places Ex's aren't supposed to be driven :D

Rick, that does sound pretty nice. Is it an enclosed trailer? Do you have any pics?

I used to Drive my X everywhere, but now, I've got access to a trailer so I trailer it.....

I tow it with my parents 2001 GMC Yukon.... travel in comfort :D, and I use my buddies trailer..... So I think I do pretty good.

I drive my X everywhere, but that will change soon. My 93 F-150 302 with tow package and dual tanks is still at my dads house. When I finaly go pick it up from him then it will be trailered from trail to trail. Untill then I just keep stoping at every gas station.

I drive mine most of the time but when I'm going for more than a day to somewhere like Moab I'll pull it down there on the trailer.

95' E-350 1-ton van or when the wife lets me here 98' F-150 on a 16' trailer.

I'll drive the explorer short distances but it's gotten to the point where driving it for more than an hour on the highway get's to be pretty tedious. I just bought a 99 f-250 diesel a month ago and any long trip I go on I'll tow the explorer.

Drive it local and tow it everywhere else. I have a 2000 PSD in my sig with an 18 ft trailer.

I get about 10 MPG pulling it. Of course that has only been 1 time and that was doing 75 down I-75 through KY and TN which has some pretty good long slopes on it.

My X is my only truck, so I drive it everywhere. It's not extreme enough YET to where I'd need to tow it.
