The Truck it is..... It's a no go on the Pilot. The tail wags the dog. Anything over 65mph doesn't feel good.

I was wondering about the trailer being too heavy. I did get all the wiring out last night. I am know forming ideas on how to redo the stereo.

Have a safe trip! Are you working today? I might be in the area after while.

I have literally no experience with Pilots, but suspected that may be the outcome. Better to find out now instead of an hour down the road, huh? Prayers for safe travel for you and your family!

Well we're 20 miles from Memphis... That where we're stopping for the night. I have a guy I have been buying electrical gear from for 15yrs that I have never met. I'm gonna try and go by and meet him in person tomorrow.

Curious why you brought the trailer w/ you, are you planning on picking up another Jeep?

I found the below method to transporting these 1/4 ton trailers on another Jeep site:
