I need to hear some people's experiences towing 24' enclosed trailers. I'm ready to get an enclosed trailer, and although I only really need a 16' for my ITB GTI, I have found some really great deals on 24'. My tow vehicle is a 2003 GMC Yukon XL (Chevy Suburban copy) rated at 6400lbs with current engine/gearing. I have a prodigy brake controller that works great with my open trailer.

My current towing arrangement is 1700lb open trailer with 2600lbs of car and gear (4300lbs). It is a great setup, other than needing an enclosed trailer to recover a bunch of garage space.

The trailer I am looking at is 3600lbs, and I need to put about 2600lbs of car and gear in it. SO - that's 6200lbs, just inside the limit. The question is, practically speaking, is this too much? I *think* it will be OK, but I don't need a towing arrangement that stresses me out so bad that I'm too shot to race at the end of a long tow.

Please respond with you experiences - thanks a bunch in advance!
