For these reasons, it's generally good policy as a buyer to bid on a reserve auction only if there is a compelling reason to do so: a lack of competing non-reserve auctions for similar items, for example, or superior seller feedback that justifies the inconvenience and uncertainty.
a suitable vehicle with which to tow it. The trailer has a dry. weight of 3700lbs - full it will be around 4500-4900lbs. We're looking. at the 1997 Chevy Astro Van, which has a listed towing capacity of. 5500lbs. Do you think that this will be a capable vehicle for towing. our trailer cross-country for a couple of months, or do you think.
I have the same van. There are different gear ratios in the rear end that give you between 4500 and 5500 lbs towing capacity. Take the vin number to the dealer and they can give you the tow rating. Be warned that when I towed a 4000 lb trailer for the first time I had to have the rear end rebuilt. I threw a bering.
