I have a 23' Chapperalle. and double axle trailer (total weight est
5000 pounds.) I'd like to tow it up a ramp and into a storage yard
then launch once/year. Ramp is about 20% and maybe 20' long, the
yard is less than 100 yards away.

My vehicle is a Chevy Malibu with a wheezy 4, and the trailer has
an electric winch.

Think if I stayed in Low, and went slow I could do it?


I would look for a friend with a pick up truck or rent a pickup
truck twice a year.

Rental pickups here only have the 'bumper hitch' rated for 2000 lbs.


Really? No F-150s for rent?



Ranger step bumper only rated for 2000 lbs and 200lb tongue weight...
I assumed F150/GMG/Chev/Dodge full size the same.

Don,
Why don't Canadians mount their tow bars onto the frame?

Why would anyone use a bumper hitch on a F150?
