I have been searching for a toy hauler that I can pull with my Transit which has a 4500lb max loaded trailer weight. I want to Haul a 1100lb UTV. That leaves a max Dry trailer weight of 3400lbs.
Does anyone know of a <3400lb dry toy hauler? The only one I have found is the Livin Lite and it seems they have stopped production. Travel Lite has one that is close but the toy area is too small. Has anyone found other options?
Thanks!
I hate to be a downer, but please check your understanding of weights - I don't think these numbers add up the way you think they do. The 4,500 max, if accurate, accounts for absolutely nothing in the Transit except (maybe) a standard (ie - 150lb or so) driver. Are you the only one in the Transit? Are there other passengers? Is there any gear? Fido? Also, are you going to have no gear, fluids, or food in the trailer? Any propane? Fresh Water? Tools and gear for the UTV?
People have different perspectives on the importance of staying within weights, but buying a trailer that weighs 3,400 dry is not going to keep you within ratings - there are many other things that come into play. I would bet that, with a 3,400 dry toy hauler, you'd be upwards of 1,000 pounds overweight the first time you rolled out!
