I believe that exceeds the maximum weight by about 1000 lbs. They are designed, at best foe a small overland trailer

Thanks. Just hoping someone has had actually towed something over 3000lbs. Have only seen videos of jetski trailer and teardrop trailers. The jayco comes in at about 2900 lbs before gear.

The bronco Badlands (no bronco sport badlands) says it can tow about 3250 (not 3500). Just hoping to find someone who has towed close to the limit

You know you work from memory about this stuff and mix in a half a bottle of good wine and you are suddenly off by a 1000 lbs

Be good to hear feedback. I also have a pontoon package weight at 2900# so interested in how it tows. Also interested in lightweight Camper. This one looks nice.

That looks like a sweet trailer. Maybe upgrade to something like that if we fall in love with camping. Just starting out and got a decent deal on the Jayco

High $20’s. We like the 14FL with the separate dining and bed areas. We don’t want to keep converting them every day, plus we don’t always go to bed or get up at the same time. This one checks almost all of our boxes plus it is really light. The only thing I would like is a bit more off-road ready. I’ll probably put bigger tires, see if I can lift it a few inches, and make some kind of skid plate for the dump valves.
