what kind of weight is everybody hauling around.goiing to pick up a 24 ft enclosed trailer tuesday for the race car

 

in the summer i tow my boat which weighs in at about 7k fully loaded with gas and all.
its a 26 ft boat with a 95 gallon gas tank! ill pull that through the desert in 120 degree weather. ive got an 06 fx4 crew cab 6.5 bed with gryphon, e fans, jba exhaust and air lift bags on the back...tows it great!

 

I pull a 32 foot toy hauler it's a KZ brand lite weight. 5500 pounds dry 8800 fully loaded with water and the Harleys. I have since added 5000 pound firestone rear air bags and a edge evo tuner. One thing I would look at if i were you is a good hitch set up. I went with a equalizer brand it has the sway control built into it and is a nice setup. I won't win any races and my next truck will be a super duty but i can't swing that payment right now. My F150 holds it's own and will do the job until the money tree sprouts.

 

thanks for the replies,ill definately be getting a equalizer hitch

 

I pull a 29ft enclosed snowmobile trailer with mine...

 

Dad tows a 27' SportCraft with a 100 something gallon gas tank with his 07 FX4. If I remember correctly the boat full of gas and loaded plus trailer weighs around 10,000lbs. He does 70mph down the highway with it.

 

Trailer brakes are a must!

 

I pull a 25' Crossroads Zinger travel camper... about 4800 dry and 6000 loaded.

I can get it most places north and south in Colorado without a problem, but I won't chance pulling it west over Vail pass. At 10,000' in altitude the truck really bogs down... I can pull my snowmobiles over the pass but I won't chance it with my camper.

A good weight distribution hitch (preferably with sway control) and trailer brake controller are a must.

 

You can get the camper over Vail Pass - at 20 mph. You need a turbodiesel to play with the big boys up there.
