Is a golf cart and trailer attached to a travel trailer too heavy for my Sequoia?
I am worried that the trailer and golf cart might be too much for our toyota to pull or cause the whole unit to sway. We have weight distribution bars,a sway bar and brakes on the travel trailer, but not on my utility trailer. Has anyone done this before and if so do you have any suggestions for us before we invest in a golf cart that we can’t haul.
i’m not sure, but maybe ask the person you buy the golf cart from? or go and test it out.
If you are pulling a utility trailer behind another trailer, that is probably not legal. I’m not sure what state you are in but I know it is illegal in Michigan, where I live. Many travel trailers have a bumper hitch that can be used to put on a bike rack or cargo rack and are not made to tow other trailers with. I would check with the secretary of state or state police in your state to be sure. 5th wheel trailers are allowed to have another trailer behind it, but normal travel trailers usually are not allowed to have another trailer behind them. If you are allowed to tow two trailers there should be a gross weight to the travel trailer and the utility trailer. Most hitches will have a weight limit on them, for a Sequoia probably are 8,500 lbs and 10,000 with a weight distribution system. It’s just a matter of adding the weight of the two trailers and finding if they are less than the hitch’s capacity.
Dpending on if the golf cart is gas or electric the cart weighs 600-1000 lbs. Then add the weight of the trailer to that. It’s illegal in some states to pull tandom trailers so check before even attempting it. The owners manual for the vehicle will tell you the maximum pulling weight. You couls also check at and see what they tell you.
