Drive em up or winch em up?

[VETTEGUY]

Here's my rule of thumb for putting a car in an enclosed trailer: If I'm alone, I always use a winch. For me, it's very difficult to judge position from either side of the trailer when pulling in. I usually run into a wheel well or at least scrape a tire against it. You did the right thing to increase your towing capacity. A half ton PU will not safely tow a 22' trailer at highway speeds. Many will say that it's no problem for them, but they haven't had to make an emergency stop-YET. Best of luck to you.

Tha 3/4 ton will tow better driving-wise, much more stable at speed. But power-wise, the rear gear is the important factor.
Most of the big trailers are towed by 2WD, not 4WD. You gain quite a bit towing capacity with 2WD.

Kurt, just got back from the Denver SuperChevy Show and the 3/4 ton was very stable and the trailer pulled straight and true, no problems. The big hills did drag it down quite a bit and I used ALOT of gas. I will check the rear end ratio, what do you recommend? The 4x4 came in handy when I pulled into one of the Camaro's previous owners field when picking up some original parts for the car. Couldn't back up to turn around because of the incline, so I made a big loop on a fairly steep hill, put it 4 low and it was a breeze.
BTW: The turquoise camaro took class runner up.
