Thanks. We really have been happy with it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality trailer. I'm sure the shared ownership with Arctic Fox/Nash has rubbed off on Outdoors RV.
I don't remember how much it weighs loaded, I haven't weighed it since soon after I bought it, probably 8000 lbs. The gross weight is 8500 lbs. I had a 2005 Nissan Titan when I bought it, and the Titan's "tow rating" was 9500 lbs. "Perfect!" I thought.
Then I found out about payload ratings and tongue weight. Oops. The Titan was plenty strong enough to tow it, and I had Firestone airbags on it, but the liability exposure from exceeding the payload rating if we had an accident was too much for me. Enter the 2004 Chevy 2500HD Duramax.
