Hello. Looking to get a toy hauler, used, that I can tow with my 2014 f-150 ecoboost. Will need hauling a polaris Rzr 4 900. In the $5000-7000 range. Seen a few Carsons fun runners and Thors in that r...

Need to be careful with "1/2 ton towable" toyhaulers. They have low hitch weights meaning you can't load much behind the axles of the trailer without getting nasty sway. My father's 2016 Stryker 2912 was like that. He towed with a 3500 DRW and it would wag that dog unless he backed his 900 XC into the living area, almost in the kitchen.
So your dads wasn't getting enough weight on the tongue and too much on the back end of the trailer? Seen that on my dads fifth wheel that had a small cage with a generator do the same thing.
First year Stryker 2912. Ratings at the time we're 885lb tongue weight, 7700 empty, 9999 GVWR. It didn't take much to get dangerous light hitch when loading toys. We packed up and drove about 100 miles with me following him. We weren't going far so he just pulled the RZR 900 XC in forward and tied it down a little furthur back than normal. I could watch that trailer lift the back of his 3500 DRW with a topper and 58g aux tank. Could see a lot of daylight between his fender and rear wheels on dips and bumps. I see they have raised the TW on website to over 1200 now. I hope it's true.
My WnP is a whole different beast. Rated ar over 1600 lb tongue weight, 8300 empty, 13,6000 gross. Tows straight as an arrow with a rzr at very rear, rzr and quad, or even 2 RZR.
