Steam,

Thanks for the input. So if I just put the 1200 miles on the truck before towing, (as was the plan anyway) I am ok to tow above 50? I think I should be, or do I still need to keep it under 50 for the first 500 miles of actual towing?

I have pulled this comobe before, you HAVE to front load the trailer, to be able to secure the car to it...also, the trailer does have in toungue hydraulic brakes, not my favorite, but without an aftermarket brake controller, certainly the best method, IMHO. The only thing I don't like about the setup is they have one of those hitches you screw down...ugh.

Also, front loaded, I needn't worry about a special hitch...I can just slap on the trailer and go? Guys pull their RX-7's and such out to these events (granted they are lighter than a G35, but still) on old Nissan harbodies, just fine...the road is really mild..only a few nasty bumps, no real bends...and a few grades.
