[QUOTE="SPRSNK, post: 274687, member: 454"] I would not airbag a Raptor. Weight distribution hitch is a requirement. I would also suggest putting in a Outlaw Raptor bump stop. I was bending the frame on my SCrew from towing too much. Those two things will allow you to easily tow 8k with no damage from towing. The issue you will run into is that depending on your toy hauler, wind from passing 18 wheelers and side winds will push you all over the place. You can search these forums for "Towing Review" and see my write up about towing with my Raptor and subsequent posts on updates. FYI: I was towing 8k-10k pounds and started bending the frame. With your edit, I see you are going to end up doing the same with the route you are thinking. You will end up getting blown into another lane due to the lack of weight on the Raptor. Prepare to go slow (60mph safely. 70mph is just white knuckling it and wicked) or go with a lighter trailer. The electronic sway control only does so much and will kick in a lot. [/QUOTE]
