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.
