Raptor is purchased and paid for, no cancelling
Perhaps I should have wrote the subject header as I'd like to get a TH for part time living in the summer in north america
I know the raptor is not a work / hauler truck, but my primary goal is not to haul around a trailer, more of an adventure vehicle
I don't want to sleep in a soft side popup/slideout type of thing
and don't want to lug a huge rig around
I was thinking about keeping the moto ~400lb in the PU bed and maybe just the bicycles in the Trailer
Still think I'd be better keeping all the weight in the trailer
Some of the yahoo's on the one of the main (Ford sponsored) raptor forums boast about towing, but the jist of it is that it's hard to have both worlds
Plush baja type vehicle and stiff hauler

If i get the lightest weight trailer i can live with, hopefully I can be ok with it
There are those off-road types of trailers, even lighter, but they you're more roughing it
I'm trying to find a local dealer (to San Francisco) to go sit in some of those wolf pup 17rp trailers
