[QUOTE="Scott Phillips, post: 1362716, member: 33338"] Yea, it is a lot to think about. I personally feel (based off of no experience) that the tongue weight is more critical than the overall trailer weight and for a toy hauler is usually the first limiter. The truck should have the powertrain and braking to pull the same or at least close to a regular F-150. It is just the suspension that limits it. It appears that toy haulers are fairly front heavy while empty and dry to offset being loaded down in the back. I am leaving the 800 pound tongue weight at a hard stop and have not included some models that exceed even though they are otherwise perfect. 800 pounds + 400 pounds of people hits the 1200 pound payload capacity. I think I took a look at the ATC models and didn't originally include them because they didn't have a front bed. I added a couple ATC models to the spreadsheet that Fall under the 800 pound tongue weight. Who knows, maybe I go with just a normal travel trailer as that is pretty easy to find a travel trailer in the size I want that the Raptor can tow. [/QUOTE]
