Yes, a brand name in Toy Haulers...
Toy haulers are a different breed of trailer, they have the highest ratio of tongue weight to trailer weight of just about any trailer, WHICH is the kiss of death for a 1/2 ton trucks because of their low payload.
Most Titans have about 1500 lb of payload, so a good sized TH will push almost 1000 lbs of tongue weight when loaded ready to go, so that only leaves you about 500 lbs for driver and all passengers and additional cargo...

BTW - ALL trailer empty weights are LOW!...Most trailers with options weigh about 500 more lbs at least...and add at least 200 of that to the advertised empty tongue weight

Yes, TH's have high Tounge weights because once loaded the tounge weights "should" come down.

As for the trailer or axle weights. Look for the sticker in the trailer for real weights. Use the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR for the trailer you like to decide if you can pull it.. Avertised dry weights are LIES, they are based on a trailer with NOTHING in it and I mean nothing! Once you see the sticker inside the trailer, you will understand..

Ragen trailers are very nice, Weekend Warrior owns Ragen, but are built a little differently.

Check out Thor, Rampage, Attitude, WW and Extreme trailers to find the one you like best.

They are made by Weekend Warrior. WW is having alot of problems with frame twist, and even breakage of frames. IMO take a look at the Adrenaline by Coachmen. I beam chassis, very nice toy hauler.

I have a weekend warrior a FS23 and love it.

* But like he said Ragen is made by weekend warrior they are a little nicer than the warrior interior but not worth the extra price. I would have bought one but got a good deal on mine. Its a 2006 I got it over a year ago for 19,000. Buy used people are giving their trailers away right now. Also they are having problems with thier frams they are in a lawsuit right now but I havent had any problems with mine. If I did it all over I would buy it again. I love the FS layouts there sweet. You will like it I love mine.

Also a side note there is only a few trailer companys most trailers are made by the same companies. So diffrent brand doesnt always mean better.

Another option is the Nitrous Hyperlite by Fleetwood. Not bad little rigs. You can see these at http://fleetwoodrv.com/nitrous/default.aspx They are within the Titans capablities. The 26 footer is GVWR of 9000 lbs and has an optional 800 watt 7 speaker stereo. Worth a look.
