Trailer suspension wont take that very long. Thats an extra ton or more on the trailer axles.
It appears to be a Ram truck ,so no problem there . :B
That is true, at least he can unhook the RZR and get help when his Ram takes a poop.;)
That's funny, good retort. Even if I don't agree :) - Me_AgainExplorer III

Without adequate pin weight I don’t think he’d be on the highway. I had to add a few hundred pounds of counter weight up front to safely carry 1000 lbs behind my fiver. Would that UTV weigh 1200 lbs?
It appears to be a four seater RZR, probably around 1500. I'd sure like to see the welding ,and bracing to accomplish that.
Lot of naysayers ,but it looks to be working. Sure would like to know more about that setup.
Can't be a 4 seater, they are much longer than the unit pictured. That is 1400+ depending on the make model. My new Kawasaki KRX is just under 2K. - ksssExplorer

You can see the hub caps sticking out, only on 3/4 and 1 tons. - Grit_dogNavigator^Half a day, lol. I think it took longer to get out my lawn chairs than to flip the beds in to couches and stand up a table. But I’m a novice at toyhaulers so probably doing it wrong?? Maybe I skipped some steps?
Funny part about the buggy hanging off the back is it’s likely fairly well engineered. Icbw, but someone creative enough to do that might actually know what they’re doing. Not to say it’s something I’d consider though. - mkirschNomad II

Seems like a toy hauler would have been an easier solution.
For hauling the RZR yes. For living in, probably not.
Sure you can set up chairs and beds in the garage area once the RZR has been offloaded, but it's a hassle to set it all up and tear it all down every time. The whole point of an RV for some people is to open the door to a ready-to-use house on wheels, not to have to spend half a day setting up furniture. - kellemExplorerWhat this has effectively accomplished is put the trailer over it's GVWR, ABUNDANT stress on rear axle but this person definitely has a can do attitude, wow.
