MoparforLife Too Many Posts M Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 25,200 Upper Midwest	Been towing for years with this Dakota. 20 foot enclosed gooseneck. The open trailer and the enclosed are converted to gooseneck. Much easier and safer to pull than a tag trailer. Always no matter what you tow with have good trailer brakes that apply slightly ahead of the truck brakes to slow the truck rather than using the tow vehicle to slow the trailer. Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks. But: Don't fix it, if it Works!
