Arctic Fox

Going to look at Arctic Fox 27 l this morning. All of reviews i have seen , best owners forums says hands down. Not alot of bling but fit and finish top notch. Not no dealers on east cost but one in PA.27 l is to small for us. Would like to order a 29k or T. Might be to heavy for 3/4 ton.

Yes Arctic Fox are known for well built and heavy. Keep in mind both of these units have rather large payloads, the 27 is close to 4,000# and the 29 is just over 5,000#!
Looking at the specs on the two you are likely think of;


Arctic Fox 27-5L
Specifications:

Dry Axle Weight (approx. Lbs.): 7,782
Dry Hitch Weight (approx. Lbs.): 1,868
Net Carrying Capacity: 3,750
Gross Dry Weight – Lbs.: 9,650
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) – Lbs.: 13400
Exterior Length (approx. w / hitch): 29’5?
Exterior Height (approx.): 13’3?
Exterior Width (approx.): 8’6?
Tire Size: ST235/80R16

Arctic Fox 29-5k
Specifications:


Dry Axle Weight (approx. Lbs.): 8,545
Dry Hitch Weight (approx. Lbs.): 2,663
Net Carrying Capacity: 5,392
Gross Dry Weight – Lbs.: 11,208
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) – Lbs.: 16600
Exterior Length (approx. w / hitch): 35’2?
Exterior Height (approx.): 13’5?

So looking at the specs for both the first thing I notice is that both units have a very BIG payload. The 27-5L has a payload of 3,750#. That is a LOT of stuff to pack into 29' of space.
The Dry weight is 9,650# so add about 1,500# of stuff, you are at 11,150 or so about what our 32' 5er weighs.

The 29-5K is of course a bit heaver out of the gate.
Dry weight is 11,208# now add about 2,000# of stuff and you are at 13,208# right on the edge of what I would tow with my 2500, BUT it isn't my choice, it is yours! The 27-5L will put you right at or just over your GVWR, the 29-5K will for sure!!
