I couldn't find the last thread with a turbo brick towing a trailer so I am starting another.
The salesman at harbor freight assured me that there was no way I would get the 43" toolbox home without a truck. He laughed when I said I had a wagon. I gave it a try and it wasn't hard at all.
It also came out fairly easily by sliding it down a motorcycle ramp. Now I can finally organize my tools. 
Wagons do hold quite a bit. Since having a truck though, I really can't give it up. But I do pull car trailers so I need the truck.

81cpcamaro, you just need a bigger wagon.
Details/link to toolbox?
I've already outgrown my Stanley after.... 4 months.
This is the one I got (link). I read a lot of reviews about it on garagejournal.com and everyone seems to love it. It seems very sturdy and well made.

My wife has a wagon that would have also worked. You know what works better? My truck. 
Can you fit 7 people in your truck (with seatbelts) when you aren't hauling anything?

Ohhhhh that one!
I'm jealous.
I don't really have the monies and/or space for that one right now. Unfortunately, i think i'm going to end up with another copy of what i've got right now, and just keep different boxes entirely for metric and SAE.
Oh well.

Actually, yes. It is a crew cab 2500HD with seatbelts for six, but room for 7 as long as they aren't disgusting fatbodies.
I can also tow a bus full of people, put the toolbox in the bed and fold the rear seats down for the pooch
Touche
I was also told "it wouldn't fit," and laughed at as I told them "give me the fork lift and I'll show ya." They tried and saw that I was right after a little prodding.
60gal Kobalt Compressor in the back of a Wrangler with the rear seat removed.
yes, but how did you get that compresser out of the jeep?
Looks like a 2-person lift to me.
The Harbor Freight guys also laughed at me when they helped me roll the 20 ton press out to my Insight. They were REALLY surprised I could fit it in there...I wasn't. Slide the passenger seat forward and load it up...gotta love a hatch!

that being said... a pick up would have been easier... but I doubt it would have been any easier with a suburban lol...

Well all the other "offroaders" spend money on Viair and/or modified Yorks for on-board air, I just thought I'd take it one step further on my Jeep.
That giant "missing link" looking fella in the pictures and I got the compressor out with little issue. Used that trailer hitch cargo carrier as a ramp and slid it down. The compressor only weighs a bit over 200 lbs. but it's crazy cumbersome and top heavy. It's been moved twice since those pictures were taken, it gets a little easier each time.

When a wagon can safely pull one of these then I will look into it. http://www.hayestrailersales.com/images/trailers/hercules85/G30H2_Hercules85.jpg
I don't have an enclosed trailer yet, but will be getting one next year, 24-30 ft range.
