Thanks


I don't know which corvette you have but it should be 3500 lbs or less. Add an enclosed trailer and you are still well under 7000 lbs. Your 1/2 ton should be fine. You will need brakes though, so if your truck doesn't have it, add a brake controller. Inexpensive and easy to install. Newer trucks are even easier, because the brake controller company may also provide a wiring harness that connects under the dash. Once you get that done and get your hands on the trailer, take a practice run of 20 - 30 miles. Towing a trailer is no big deal if you just use some common sense. I definitely would not put my corvette on an open trailer. If you hit sloppy weather, the blow back from the tow vehicle would likely do damage. It would be like tailgating someone on the highway for 1100 miles. Bad idea if you like the paint job!


I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!
