Toy hauler for a lot of toy, not a lot of people

llloyd · 11-08-2006, 08:34 PM

Most of the toy haulers I've seen sleep like 6-10 people and have either really small cargo areas or are way over the tow capacity of our titans. I have a 2200lb toyota thats about 15' long that I want to tow to races. It would be nice to have something that me or me and my g/f can crash in but I don't have 8 kids or another family tagging along like most of these things seemed designed for. I'd imagine that a smaller living area would mean that the whole thing would be light enough for the titan.. Anything like this out there?

You would probably be better off with a enclosed car hauler with some living quarters in the front. Or look into some of the toyhaulers that have the front kitchens or baths. Like these..........

Its not that these things are specifically designed to sleep 8 people, its more a by-product of their design. You can get them without beds in the cargo area, but they're all going to sleep 4 or so with 2 in master bedroom and a couple more on the fold-up furniture.

That's why I was suggesting something without a master bedroom and more cargo area in the rear. Probably best for him.

I don't think a truck would fit on a 12' cargo platform.

Yes there is...the Mullins trailer...originally designed in the 1940's is now being made again...this is a teardrop design, can sleep two easily, has cooking facilities...and is nice and light.

It's also a low profile design...you won't need huge mirrors.

btw..on the road to Stillen yesterday...I saw the ultimate irony...a Ram pulling a Titan travel trailer!

Now sure how one of those is supposed to also haul a Toyota...

So far, the best option looks like the Warrior wide-body FB (26') that DStewart mentioned above. Yes, the GVWR is higher than the Titan is rated, but the trailer is also spec'd for up to 5,250lb of payload. With his 2,200lb Toyota in there, that would be pushing just over 8000lb.

LOL......You have a point there...I shoulda read the entire post...mine eyes still blurry after the Stillen meet yesterday.

But what the heck..maybe someone can use the info...teardroptrailers.net is the site.

This is kinda like I was thinking also. They do enclosed trailers with living quarters in the front. Not sure of the weight though.
