Thanks for the assesment. I do not plan on hauling any cars with it or anyting. Mainly a mower, 3 or 4 motorcycles... that kind of thing.skinny2 wrote:Looks like a heavy trailer for sure. My 12' single-axle is about 1,100#. I'm betting that one goes 2,200-2,500#. You'll be ok with the V8 just so you load it properly. I don't care if the PF had a V12...it's still a smaller chassis than a full-size and won't tow as securely as something bigger. It does a good job though but I won't tow anywhere near the max rating with mine.
I read his e-mail wrong... the seller said "The trailer is approximatly 5K capacity. I have it plated at 7k."skinny2 wrote:Typically the weights are based on axle ratings. 5k is kind of a strange rating...that would be two 2,500# axles. Usually individual axles on a stout trailer like this would be 3,500# so a tandem will have a 7,000# rating. Some of the smaller, very light-weight trailers (like lowes carries) can have lighter axles but
We towed a 16' car hauler with 3 motorcycles and gear on it and the Pathy loved it... getting on highways from on ramps was no problem at all. And the tounge weight on that thing was something that I could not lift.driftedoffroad wrote:That thing should tow it great. I have a 16' car hauler and with my car loaded I'm at about 4500lbs. You definitely feel it but it still tows well, I would like to see how the V8 feels though
