Mostly you have to be concerned with tongue weight. The 600lbs on the trailer not such a big deal. I would use a Class II 2inch detactable hitch through where the rear fog light goes and have someone custom built it and rate it for no more than 100lbs of tongue weight then get your trailer with scooter to balance out at about ~60lbs of tongue weight. I think the rule is 10% of total trailer weight on tongue is good with lighter trailers. You need a little tongue weight to keep it from wiggling as it goes down the road. On the other side of coin you want the hitch to be just a tad lower than the deck of the towed trailer once all the weight is on it.
I'd just buy a used Ford Ranger or rent a truck for this duty. But, as you have a need to tow a trailer for the scooter, so do others have a need to tow race tires to the track with their Z. When I track a car I put it on a trailer .... so when it breaks and it will, I have a way to get it back to the garage. Last edited by Mecinoid; 01-19-2012 at 01:50 AM. |
