I appreciate the concern, I really do. Out here on the east coast, the worst stuff I'll get into is foothills of the Appalachians. I've been there with enclosed car trailers in the neighborhood of 8000 pounds and been very comfortable. For one track event I was loaded to about 11,000 pounds and it was uncomfortable. For the top rung of today's 1/2 ton trucks, 6000-8000 pounds is a very reasonable load. Any time you add multiple tons of weight to ANY vehicle, the risk factor increases. The key is realizing that and not thinking that your 1/2 ton gasser is a big rig that can do anything.
I am very weight conscious on this hunt for an RV. This is why I wanted to know the interior height of the small Hyper Lite. There is no need to upgrade from my truck to tow the little one. It looks like my decision has been made. The RZR will fit with room to spare and I'll be around 7000 pounds loaded which is 1000lbs below my desired limit.
