Any of you guys tow a trailer?

I see lots of pictures of SCABS towing big loads. I'm planning on getting a raptor and using it sometimes to tow my jeep/trailer (around 7000lbs total). I really like the look of the SCAB's better, but was going to go for a SCREW for the towing....is there really much of a difference in towing between the two? or would the SCAB be fine?

Scab would probably be fine as long as you aren't towing a really long distance. And look into the load stabilizer bars for extra stability

I would have the truck loaded up too. Long story. Anyways..yea. So overweight I was bending the frame.

I can't match the weight you guys are towing, but I drag lots of fun behind mine.

Mine tows like a champ even with the sway bar removed

Boat without motor, fuel, equipment or trailer weighs 1980lbs so i'm guess loaded its 4-4.5k.

i tow a little on the light side... a 14ft trailer loaded with 3quads and a dirt bike

This thread caught my eye because I have to tow a '74 Chevy Scottsdale about 130 miles next week. From what I've read, this should be a snap weight-wise.
