[QUOTE="t_j, post: 829741, member: 12397"] So go read your door sticker max combined weight is on it and that is the legal limit. Lets say you have a new screw that puts you at 8000Lbs towing capacity. Trailer - 7000lbs Quad 1 - Wet weight 350-400lbs Quad 2 - Wet weight 350-400lbs RZR - Dry weight 1200lbs Wet probably close to 1300lbs 150 Gallons of Water - 1500lbs 50 Gallons of Gas - 315lbs This puts your trailer at between 10715 and 10915lbs outside of fords towing capacity for the vehicle. At this weight you probably looking at 700-1000lbs hitch capacity. Your truck has a 1300lbs payload capacity leaving you 300-600lbs for people and gear. With a trailer like that you probably have the whole family or friends, so +600lbs of people, leaving you over by 300+lbs on truck payload. Thats before you have anything else that was not stock on your truck, bumbers/winches/skid plates/etc/etc. Or before you add any luggage, but I'll assume thats all in the trailer increasing your over weight amount by another ~300lbs (safety gear and clothing). All in all your way over loaded and your insurance company is gonna laugh at you. Even if you get into a none fault accident you will become at fault due to the overloaded nature of your vehicle. If you want to tow this rig go get a regular f-150 screw or a f250. But oh you have a scab which has a 6000lbs towing capacity, putting you over weight by at least 4000lbs. [/QUOTE]
