Our Thoughts
Trailer Length
Trailers over 20ft are best pulled by a truck, or at least an SUV with a truck frame. Most SUVs have a car-style frame and lack the weight and rigidity to control a larger trailer.
Cargo Capacity
After filling propane and freshwater tanks, this trailer does not have much room left for gear.
Tow Vehicle Recommendations
Smaller trucks like the Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado can tow shorter trailers, but make sure the the payload capacity is sufficient.
You may need to move up to a half ton truck like the Ford F-150 or Ram 1500.
Look inside the door frame for a sticker that lists the payload capacity. The vehicle needs to be able to carry the tongue weight of the trailer, passengers, and gear. For a driver, passenger, and gear, that means about 935 pounds.
| Estimated Minimum Payload | |
|---|---|
| Individual | 715 lbs |
| Couple | 935 lbs |
| Family | 1,295 lbs |
