Wes,
What size if the trailer in the pic I posted. I am NOT assuming the op will be going with a trailer ANY bigger than the trailer my family of 6 used for 12 some odd years. The people wts, cargo wts of in the truck trailer etc, where ALL weights that came from weighing my rig from the time my youngest was 3 months old when we bought that trailer, to when she was 12, and my eldest were 18! My sons are taller at 6'4" than the OP's assuming tallest child at 6'1".
Bigger trailer is not needed. but PAYLOAD will be needed. The expy will pull a 6K trailer just fine! very fine actually. I have clients that are pulling a 7K lb one. BUT, if I loaded my family of 6 with "4 teenagers" said expy would be overloaded! If she was a family of 4 wanting to pull a 24' trailer around 6000 lbs, you could pull it off. One would pull it off with a family of 6, if everyone is of a smaller size. But 3-6+ foot people, 3 in the 5'8" range, all in the 150-250 range.........not so sure!
