I’ve done my usual nerding out with measuring, looking at line of sights, and such. I can see how I would love it for towing anything 7’ wide or less. I may still end up placing the order just for those instances, when I don’t necessarily need or want to strap on the big mirrors for my 8’...

Can you tell me how far the Rampage's glass extends past the JT mirror's edge? That would be helpful. Thanks

This is very interesting to me. How is it for seeing around an 8’ wide trailer? I was going to use my beloved Cipa clamp-on mirrors that have fit securely on every tow vehicle I’ve ever tried them on... Except this one. I found a way to use bungee cords to somewhat hold them on, but they...

Mopar used to have it on their website, and it was shown when I logged in. They removed that from the site after its accuracy was called into question here on the forum. I assume that's why they removed it, because the timing of it makes sense. Anyway is that the one you're talking about or...

Yep, and even the hitch itself has to count toward payload weight, and those things can be dang heavy. I don’t believe it counts as tongue weight though, because that starts at the point of coupling and goes back. At least that’s the way I understand it. If we’re truthful with ourselves...

Dry weight is 4,300 lbs and it's got a WDH. It rides nice and level with no sway at all, but I haven't loaded it up for a trip yet. I don't think I'll approach 5,500 lbs even loaded.

Just got this Forest River Flagstaff Micro Mini.

I’ve been concerned about him as well. Hoping he’s alright.

Information you need are in a combination of places. Your jeep owners manual shows towing, payload, and hitch maximums, trailer outside stickers show trailer specific weights, and the Jeep door sticker shows GVWR, and axle specific limits. It can be a little confusing because all of those...

I think your manual and door sticker are right and your dealer is wrong.

I’m trying to think about how I would handle that situation so here’s my thought process. Would I be compliant with towing limits to do so? No. Would it be smart to tow like that as a general practice? No. Do I condone non compliant towing? Once again no. But twice a year to get my boat to...

Oh, a new development recenty came up with that. The local Camping World, who I'd been working with earlier when looking at trailers, called me with a new lower price on the same trailer that we'd first looked at on their lot. They had been a few thousand bucks over our budget so we...

Wow thanks for bringing this thread back - I had missed it before and I love those pictures.

Interesting points of view going on here - exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for in the thread. I’ve about settled on a 24’ trailer with no slide, dry 4,400, GVWR 5,800, hitch 585. I know the hitch is close to my 600 lb limit but it’s just my wife and me in the JT which with the tongue...

Ha! That's the way I drive even when I'm not towing. :) Besides, I like being in my JT so taking a little longer is not a bad thing.

North Carolina.

Like a lot of you, I've been working out the numbers on what trailers I can safely tow with my Sport S regular towing truck. I have a good bit of towing experience over roughly 30+ years, but I'm playing it closer on payload with this truck than I have with previous tow vehicles so I want to be...

By your GVWR it appears you have a Sport manual. It would be tough to increase your towing capacity from what I've been reading. Even if you did beef things up and added engine cooling, etc., you'd still be over capacity legally if you went over the 9,100 GVWR, 4,000 trailer weight, 400lb...

Great info there - thanks. It's just my wife and me as well. I looked at that Minnie before online and I love the tandem axels on a trailer that size, but one thing we both definitely want is a north south walk-around queen bed. One that can be separated in some way from the rest of the...

Okay good point - I guess I really am overthinking this. They publish all those different weight numbers for a reason, so I'll trust them :) . After internet researching myself into analysis paralysis, I actually went to our local Camping World yesterday and looked at some floorplans in...
