2 quads and a RZR oh my

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.

Edit and legally according to the manufacturer

It's about payload and tongue weight. The F150 Max tow is a great vehicle. I have just been where you are and it took some lumps before I figured out 3/4 ton minimum if you want anything other than a small toy hauler. Sure the F150 will do it. Just like my 1500HD could do it. Just not comfortable driving, the toy hauler will push you around.

Too much weight, not enough truck.

You'll kill the F150. Been there done that, bought a Duramax.

As 2001400ex points out, loaded THs have really heavy tongue weights. Tongue weights have zero to do with a tow vehicles printed brochure tow capacity and everything to do with your trucks available payload. Granted, some the 2018 F150s can have impressive payload numbers, but not all of them do.

And per Ford (along with all the manufacturers):

2018 Ford F-150 Brochure wrote:
Payload Notes: Maximum capabilities shown are for properly equipped vehicles with required equipment and a 150-lb. driver. Weight of additional options, equipment, passengers and cargo must be deducted from this weight.
For additional information, see your Ford Dealer.

So the question will come down to, what is the payload on your specific truck and what will the loaded tongue weight be on the TH?

Thanks for the replies, I think I am going to lean towards a slightly longer trailer to get the quads side by side and the rzr in front of it. I think that would be the easiest way to load. I really don't want to get heavier than 10K loaded. I can easily go higher then that, but I like a lot of wiggle room when going on long hauls. Truck is a F150 crew max tow ecoboost. I did see some light (10k lb gross) 5th wheels, but they only have a 14 foot garage. I do like the option of putting gear or anything else in the bed of the truck. It seems to get used a lot.

I'd be interested to see if someone has done this with a rzr trail and how they liked it.

Thanks again

Not to be the weight police. But I wouldn't tow a toy hauler with a RZR and 2 Quads with an F150. My first toy hauler was a 27 footer and every 3/4 and 1 ton had a hard time with it. Toy haulers are really heavy tongue weight compared to a non toy hauler and the F150 will struggle. It has the engine and transmission, you are fine there. Just not the weight in the frame and springs.

I fit 2 sport quads side by side no problem in my Warrior, but they had to be behind the wheel wells.
A garage model shouldn't have any wheel wells.
I have 22' of open space, so doesn't matter to me. :)

My Raptor 700s, and most sport quads, are 4x6. You can get 2 side by side in the back of some toy hauler, if there's nothing on the walls in any way. The RZR I believe is 120 inches long. So if you can get the quads side by side, you need 16 foot long garage. If you can't get them side by side, you are 18 feet long with them both sideways. They also fit in the bed of a pickup nicely. I rode like that wtfh my last toy hauler. 2 quads in my toy hauler and 1 in the bed of the pickup. Worked very well, just watch the weight in the bed with the tongue weight. I never had an issue but it was only a sport quad and a 24 foot toy hauler.

I'd consider a fifth wheel. With the 33 model in the video below (5 feet longer than the one shown in the video) would work well with your application. And your total length is about the same as with that boost. The slide out is nice to allow you to open the door to get out of the RZR. That's a 15 foot long, 72 inch wide Maverick X3 RS going in there.

How wide are the sport quads? Big thing to check is the width between the bed rails. They all seem to have slightly different interior widths. I assume your planning to put the two sport quads side by side?

You might check something the like the torque t285 which has the couch/kitchen further up, and more garage space, but its notably bigger than a 27QB (+ has a slide)

I put 3 full size quads in a 12' enclosed garage, but one has to go sideways.
