HILL1HM 02-09-2010, 05:05 PM I was thinking about heading down to Daytona for bike week. The only problem is my truck is out of commission & the G/F's '06 Murano is slated to be the tow rig. I'll be pulling 2 bikes on a 18 ft trailer about 800 miles each way . The total weight is probably around 3000 pounds . The rated towing weight for the Murano is #3500. Anybody have any real world experience towing with one of these ? crashnzuk 02-09-2010, 07:53 PM With an 18' trailer and 2 bikes, I doubt you'll only be at 3K lbs. With that said, hook it up with the bikes on and see how it is. I think you'll be right at max rating, but if it tows good I'd try it.

Gas mileage is prolly gonna suck ass. Hottrod81 02-09-2010, 08:42 PM Do it. It's your girlfriends so who cares. crashnzuk 02-09-2010, 09:40 PM If you are inside the weight rating and she still has warranty, do it. Travis.. #rawkon 02-09-2010, 11:50 PM Why use an 18 footer, its only 2 bikes. Oh PS. I have never been to trailer week. Ever consider riding the bikes there. Only pussies trailer a bike to bikeweek. See you there I will be one riding my bike, not trailering it. crashnzuk 02-10-2010, 10:41 AM Why use an 18 footer, its only 2 bikes. Oh PS. I have never been to trailer week.

EDIT, I just noticed that the OP is from Tennessee. Why not ride, it's not like you're in Washington state? #rawkon 02-10-2010, 11:58 PM Oh, SNAP:grinpimp::laughing: Travis.. EDIT, I just noticed that the OP is from Tennessee. Why not ride, it's not like you're in Washington state? i rode to Dayotna a few years back. but it was when i lived on the oregon coast. Now from mobile its just a days ride. dodgedog03 02-11-2010, 06:03 AM does it have the cv trans? if so how do you put a cooler on it? TheCompound 02-11-2010, 07:17 AM I have towed with a couple small SUV's. Get a tranny cooler and take it slow (65mph) and youll be fine. Have fun! -TheCompound TNScrambler 02-11-2010, 12:37 PM I would do it only if you didn't want a girlfriend anymore...cause your gonna toast the tranny:flipoff2: Just so you know the fluid alone is $18 - $20 per quart, yes it is CVT, and yes you will trash it. But thats just my opnion:homer: wagman 02-11-2010, 10:05 PM You'll be the guy sittin' by the side of the road with a smokin' tranny waiting for AAA #rawkon 02-12-2010, 09:47 AM My question is, Why are you pulling such a large trailer. a 6x12 would be way more then enough trailer for 2 gold wings, adn I am sure your bikes arent as big as a gold wing. Especially if you not gonna ride em there. SISSY:flipoff2: Po' riggity 02-13-2010, 08:45 AM Take pictures when you end up on the side of the road. I wanna see! :D :flipoff2: InstaGator 02-13-2010, 11:43 AM Oh PS. I have never been to trailer week. Ever consider riding the bikes there. Only pussies trailer a bike to bikeweek. See you there I will be one riding my bike, not trailering it. Funny, cause I sometimes think the same thing about trailered 4x4's. If you can't drive it there, it is just a big ATV IMO. :flipoff2: | |
