I say this all the time... But in reality I'd use it 3 times a year Maybe... Love borrowing shit... Aka bartering for usage.
Everyone who has equipment I borrow has trucks that are broke.

Facts!!!
I bought mine thinking I would use it a lot more and I've used it maybe 3 times since April. Thankfully my guy lets me park it at his tire shop.
So its not in the way at the house.
Also speaking of trailers, I want to go pick mine up and see if its easier to back it up being I can see the trailer now.
It was sooooo fucking hard in my Silverado as I couldnt really see the trailer outside of my mirrors. Where I park it, I have to back in between a RV and a boat and not a lot of room

In OP's case it's worth buying his own aluminum trailer because he'll be at or above his tow capacity, above his max tongue weight, and possibly above his payload capacity
An alum trailer is cheaper than wrecking truck/trailer/racecar after an emergency lane change.

If it was a regular colorado I could maybe see pushing it (i personally wouldn't do it though), but with that soft zr2 suspension, fuck that. Even in half ton at4's with impressive towing capacities you can feel that suspension with a trailer behind you.
Be careful about where you put the car on whatever trailer you're using. Not too far forward, not too far backward. Also make sure your brake controller works and the brakes on the trailer work.
Or just buy/borrow/rent a truck that's actually designed to tow a car.

my bil has a half ton at4, was towing his boat a pretty good distance., likely way over it's rating i'd bet, called me complaining about how sketchy it felt and asked if he should fill the ballast tanks on the boat (3klbs of water) to make it tow better.
i had under 8k in my mind for some reason.
why GM doesn't put good gears in AT4's like ford does in almost anything is mindfucking. fuckin' chuckleheads.
Same but this summer I finally had a deal come my way so I jumped on it. I have yet to get my car on my trailer. I've used it for a couple other things though and it if wasn't for free storage it would be gone. Doesn't help that I sold the car I was going to use it for either. Soooooo
Lead Pipe's trailer rental is open!
