Ok so I read the few threads available on towing and want to get some more feedback so I can pull stuff with my 2014 Screw Raptor. Currently I pull a single axle 6x12 utility trailer which I load my rhino on and if I had to guess I have towed about 3000 lbs on it without any problems but obviously thats child's play. So per the factory specs of 8000lbs I have found a possible toy hauler trailer that may not exceed the factory recommendations.
Here is the link:

Total weight with fuel, fresh & grey liquids & trailer = 6533 lbs. (5365 UVW and 1168 lbs of liquid). Add another 2000-2500 for toys (rhino) and supplies I am looking at a total of 8500 to 9000 lbs to pull.
Well 9000 is more than 8000 factory however I will be doing the WDH and any other sway controls to assist. The width of this trailer is 8.5 feet which I am a little concerned about with the smaller raptor mirrors but I should be fine.
I just want to make sure I don’t put to much stress on the car. The trips are probably not going to be more than 300 miles each way. Another member mentioned I should upgrade rear springs to help with sag but wanted to see if any others had some feedback towing toyhaulers.
