[QUOTE="MDJAK, post: 1496673, member: 31917"] I have a Wells Cargo enclosed light trailer., 6x12. It's about 15 years old, still in very good shape. Empty it weighs 980 pounds. I've towed it loaded with my various ATVs, kayaks and bicycles behind many vehicles over it's lifetime. Started towing with my 2004 VW Touareg with V8. it had air suspension and once the tongue weight made the rear drop, the air suspension would level the vehicle. It was pretty cool back then. I then had no vehicle to tow with and a friend "borrowed" it for next few years. Fast forward, began towing it with my Porsche Macan, V6, also air suspension, towed it as if it wasn't there. Coming out of tool booths (remember those?) I could beat most cars if I wanted to. Towed with my '17 Raptor, my '18 Platinum, and now my '19 Raptor. Loaded it weighs probably less than 2k. Today I'm heading somewhere, probably Mechanicsburg, PA to buy a slightly larger trailer. I want a 7x14. Those extra 2 feet will make a big difference, as will the extra foot width. Empty it will weigh about 1900 pounds. Looking at the ATC line of trailers. Loaded I figure 3k pounds tops. Is that any problem towing long distance without putting in bump stops which I don't want to bother with? Will that cause big drop in the rear? I know full well the Raptor is not designed for towing but I'm hoping for this weight it should be fine. Oh, why when I'm looking at Carguru.com am I seeing 2020 Raptors marked over invoice all of a sudden? It wasn't that way a few weeks ago. Are they sure there will be no 2021 and they are just gouging? [/QUOTE]
