20 ft. Stratos fish and ski all the time, 72 chevy on a dove tail trailer sometimes, and every great once in a while a Case skidsteer (Bobcat) which by the way, is way too heavy.

24ft, 6000lb fifth wheel
Covered 12x6 utility trailer, 1500lb
16x5ft cargo trailer, up to 1800lb
hauled just about everything in the bed, including 1000lb of concrete bags
With the fiver I get about 11mpg at 70mph, with the utility trailer 12mpg at 65mph, with the cargo trailer it depends on how high the load is.
I still pull my skeed steer RC-50, with out any issues.
Pulls great, and if you know how to load your trailer properly, and have good trailer brakes, I don't see why not.
Once I had to go over 30 mile one way with it, and reach speed over 55mph, truck pulled it with out any issues. I have Teckosha Brake controller, and 11k trailer.
I think the key there is loading the trailer properly. I see alot of people slamming the weight to the front of the trailer and killing their springs. Cool, thanks for the info.

I tow my 21' Sea Ray Bowrider, it's about 4500 lbs with the trailer and loaded with normal gear/fuel, etc. Drove it 400 miles from the dealer with no problem.

I need to tow a 19' Sea Ray Bowrider. So it's about the same situation as you. Do you use a dropped hitch (2", 2 1/2", etc.)?

Hey 04DSGTUNDRA,
what model toy hauler do you have in the picture and how big is it? I've been looking at some older TH's and just wanted to know how the Tundra pulled it?
