2 quads and a RZR oh my
Good Morning Looking at getting a toy hauler. Plans are a RZR 900 trail and a couple of sport type quads. I would love to fit everything in a medium sized hauler (15' garage including kitchen area)...

Please don't sideline the post. This isn't my first rodeo. I've had a 3/4 duramax and a 1 ton powerstroke. I love the ecoboost 1/2 ton and am not turning back. It's a 2017 with the max towing. You are more than welcome to look it up. I am below the weights by the manufacturer even if I put a quad in the back. Again if you haven't towed with the 3.5 10 speed, you really don't know how the truck handles the weight and shouldn't comment. This isn't a 5.4 4 speed with a 7K lb tow cap.
I understand exactly where you are coming from. I'm just trying to give you some information to help you in your decision. Here is information and a tow test to read about. Engine and transmission are well matched for the weight.

However read on the tongue weight of that toy hauler. It's 1,082 dry. Now go back to the link above, it says payload of 1,700.(they made their tongue weight around 900 pounds with a water ballast) That means dry, you'll only have 600 pounds for you, family etc. If you put a quad in the bed, a sport quad is 420 pounds or so wet. Now you are at 1,500 pounds. Unloaded. That leaves only 200 pounds for you, family, gear.
That being said, I'm over weight on my vehicle and I wish I had a 1 ton. I've added air bags, which you will need. And it's a band aid.
