I purchased a RZR a few months ago which is street legal in AZ. Last week I came across RZR hitches so I purchased one which will arrive today!My plan is to use the RZR to tow a small camping trailer- Who else is doing it?

I'd like to see some photos once the hitch arrives.Get ready for the Weight Police. :B

As a kid I towed my dad's fishing boat with my Kawasaki 100 with hitch strapped to the frame. That is until "the incident" LOL Just curious if the owners book gives towing specs? It might just work or not

RZR's and Rangers have 1500-2000lb tow ratings. So you could tow a variety of small campers with out a problem. I've towed some hefty loads with my Ranger XP900 with out issue. Add brakes on the camper and it should do fairly well.Main issue will be burning up your belt towing in high range.

Plenty of Europeans tow utility or pop trailers behind their 650cc and larger street legal buggies. You will need to do some wiring for turn/brake/running lights on your UTV and swap to some better wearing DOT tires - I use snow tires with no studs. I have flat towed another buggy and moved my utility trailer around on private property but have not bothered to wire in a 4-prong and converter for street use.

Year before last I was camping south of Flagstaff near Mountainaire. We were not in an improved campground so when it rained it became quite muddy and slick. My F-150 at the time was 2 wheel drive and when I hooked up to the 25' toy hauler it would not move.I towed my truck out to the main road with my Arctic Cat Prowler, installed the load levelling hitch on the Arctic Cat, hooked up to the toy hauler and pulled it out of the camp, down the side road and out to the main gravel road.My buddies were amazed it did it! Not something I would do every day but I was amazed at how well it pulled it other than the steering being a little light.

Anyone towing their camping trailer with a RZR or UTV?

I see a few sport cars towing little trailers carrying rooftop boxes (Yakima & Thule) designed for larger cars and SUV's. There are plenty of motorcycle trailers with tents, but they seem to be too expensive for what you get for the price.

I installed the radio/headsets and hitch this week. Now I just have to decide what I want to do about a trailer. I may buy a little flatbed 4'x5' or something (which I can always use for chores around the ranch) and see how it does.
Turkey season opens today so it will have to wait till next week. Time to hunt!

Now you can tow your 5th wheel with your UTV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b734eSPO1gI

Some UTV can tow no problem just because it says it rated to tow really doesn't mean much. If you've ever looked at the small axle bearing theirs not much there!

I wouldn't put more than a pop-up or one of those small teardrop trailers behind a RZR. Good way to ruin a $20k+ toy

The oddest thing I've seen towed was a single horse trailer with a donkey being pulled by a Goldwing. This was on 475 by Macon GA. The guy was running 70 mph and didn't seem to be having any problems. It would scare the carp out of me.

I had a weekend like that in Tijuana. Poor donkey.
