Oh it's a Sunday morning alright!!! Hot cocoa in my hand and TFL on the screen bringing the fire truck content!!! 👍🏼☕🚙💨💨💨💨💨💨🚚💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨✔

[@stephensquillacote8503]

This was a great video. Would love more basic tutorials like this for us folks just starting out.

[@ryanfillmore]

Thank you for the video! Great points about mirrors, to many people are towing trailers and they do not have adequate mirrors for what they tow.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

The best tow rig is the one that's paid for and no bill comes each month. My 2011 F150 5.0 will pull anything I can hook it to and it's paid for. Same for trailer. I bought my 16ft tandem used for 900 dollars Back in the 90s a 200hp V8 truck would pull all the same things we pull today

[@williambehrend5452]

I see your list left off one of the most popular mid sized suv....the jeep wrangler unlimited...I've towed with one for going on 10 years now and went way more than I should have and it's never skipped a beat,I really enjoy your videos and wish more people would watch and do their homework before towing. I'm a truck driver for a living and see alot of sketchy stuff going down the highway, and I'm even baffled about how many professionals don't have a clue until they have a problem or an officer of the law has to have a conversation with them.

[@regsparkes6507]

There at about the 4:35 mark you mentioned those four pin wiring connectors,..made me think of how annoying those can be, when they get dust, dirt and corrosion in them. I prefer the 7 pin connection and use an 7 to 4 pin adapter,...seems to work a lot better and easier to keep clean. Don't forget the dielectric grease on those connectors too.

[@justinfowler2857]

While I know all the information presented, I still watched for some reason. Guess I like the tfl videos.

[@davidrichardson6749]

The simple pleasures. Their vids are like comfort food. Not too fancy, you know what you’re getting, but it goes down easy and puts a smile on your face every time.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Stephen, It is sad to see all the rust on that trailer. Krown Rustproofing and others will be happy to prevent that.

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes you're right, I had a 17 foot landscape trailer and it started to rust, as it just sat there outdoors. I wonder if the problem started when the steel wasn't properly prepped for paint when it was built? Some of the powder coat paint just flakes off with rusty steel underneath, and makes it look so bad!

[@WW-wf8tu]

Not bad. Missed a few things to be a "Pro". However, for newbs this was a good start. :). Appreciated the walk around and the pull over and re-secure advice. Seen plenty of people on the road not secured properly. Seen plenty of you tubers doing pack ups on a variety of trips, say their good byes and drive away with stuff open or not tied down. lol.

[@pipinscotty]

Jokes on you, I'll be using this advice to tow my classic mini cooper.

[@scott8975]

Can we get some information on trailer brakes? I'm seeing SUVs say that if you tow over 1,000lbs you need trailer brakes, which applies to towing a SXS. But most small trailers for SXSs won't have trailer brakes??

[@Ahmad-yw5hl]

Can you make a review of this Duramax

[@MrBillsfishin]

Good info. I think we need to see more regular comparisons of new trucks vs Big Green on your trails mister. Please. Not all of us have new trucks. It would be very cool to see the difference in old vs new often and not just 90's Land Rovers. Lol

[@christopherking2012]

Why would they get rid of the 4 pin connector? All my trailers have a 4 pin (surge brakes).

[@jook13]

Same, it seems dumb. Guess an adapter is cheap enough though

[@badgerpa9]

Most come with an adapter if you buy the tow package.

[@TFLoffroad]

To clarify: the four-pin connector is still on the 2020 Silverado. If you order the upgraded trailer camera package, the 4-pin is deleted in favor of the camera connection, like on our High Country.

[@badgerpa9]

@@TFLoffroad makes good sense.

[@hellkitty1014]

Small caveat: The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Durango tow 7400 max with the 5.7, and the SRT Durango tows 8700 pounds.

[@machfive916]

Great video. Nice looking High Country.

[@MixinGasGarage]

a 1/2 ton works for that, but you guys should make a video for the people that camp and use toy haulers to get there sxs around.

[@nick_fourwheeler4131]

Can you please review the american landmaster side by side 2020 untamed

[@R.Nelson]

Good morning Steve 🌞

[@chipsterb4946]

I’m wrestling with whether to get brakes on the trailer.

[@tomzeldenryk8757]

can we have a review on the newest seadoo gtx 300

[@jeffrapp4643]

Only 2 straps? 4 separate straps are required in most places in the United States

[@justinfowler2857]

I thought it seemed kinda loosely tied as well.

[@badgerpa9]

If you read the law 2 straps are good up to a certain weight also he is in Canada but they share most of the same rules and regs. Also there is a difference in if you are CDL as in being paid or if you are towing your own. Having said that I always over strap as if you ever need to lock up you do not want something landing on you. It has 4 points of tie down but I don't know if that is 2 straps on each wheel or one strap that ties front and back.

[@jedironin380]

I'd also like to see more detail about WHERE to strap on to on a SxS. The manual points to the lower A-arm where it attaches to the frame, but I've never seen anyone actually fasten there. I've heard the tire-straps are great, but I don't have those. I have plenty of good 1,000-lb-rated ratchet straps, though.

[@shanevaughan6980]

I like that you used this Silverado but I think it would be even cooler if you used big green

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

Super impressed with that new diesel motor in the GMs! Smooth, quiet, efficient and torquey! Have we seen any weak spots yet? Just curious.

[@kaliman198117ify]

Has he reviewed the Chevy 3.0 Diesel?

[@flexing1013]

Nice truck

[@johnnybergeron9053]

DO NOT FORGET MACHINE WHIT TRACKS

[@yorkchris10]

Wow, my MGB weighed 2200 lbs. These UTV's are car-like.

[@LukeEdward]

Chris York I bet your MGB also didn’t cost as much, too.

[@carm2005]

I got a 19' new body Silverado 1500 WT 4X4, reg cab, long box, 4.3 V6. I tow a Aluma 5410, custom longer bi fold car hauler ramp added on the back of the trailer. Truck is rated to tow 7,700 pounds with 810 pounds of tongue weight. The heaviest thing I've towed on the trailer so far is a 19' Harley Davidson Electra Glide Standard FLHT. Truck tows like nothing is even there and the trailer has had 0 affect on the handling of the truck.

[@damiangutierrez9103]

That's a high country and the interior is just plain & black. The older high country trim model Silverado interior was a lot nicer. Enough to compete with king ranch and Langhorne.

[@badgerpa9]

How about a Datsun pickup? lol

[@badgerpa9]

@Robert Ross what can the datsun tow besides itself?

[@LukeEdward]

DUDE! You, literally, just reviewed the Jeep Wrangler, recently and the 4-door is capable of towing 3k. Yet, it’s not on the list.

[@robertnightster]

Its cause your towing with a chevy lol take that truck to a scrap yard
