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?


What year is it? Does it have a frame and frame mounted receiver type
hitch? If not, you may find your rear bumper on the ground.

I looked up the 2007 Malibu with the 4 banger. Tow capacity is 1000 lbs.
That's a small utility trailer full of leaves.

I'd find a friend with a truck. Your car is designed to *be* towed, not
*to* tow 5000 lbs.
