I pull a WW FS-2300, almost the same trailer, and it is fine on almost any road. trying to go to Big Bear or anything real steep will work your truck HARD!!!

More about your truck would help..

[BIGGIE]

I was looking for more info on this trailer not my titan itself. I know my rating just want to know if anyone has one or has ever pulled one? It just doesnt seem like real world rates to me on a toy hauler of this size.

But I will add the info on my truck. 05 LE CC 2wd W/BT, brake controler and firestone air bags.

Okay, I'll say it this way. I have towed my trailer many a mile now.. I use to wish for a bigger one. Now I feel my little 23 foot 7600 lbs, super lite is just the right size for my truck!!

As for the weights.. Find a trailer open the cabinets and look at the weight sticker inside. That will tell you how much the trailer really weighs and how much you can really carry. I would say it is close to 6600 lbs "Dry" (And that doesn't include the tongue weights that are nearly double what's posted), which leave you 1K for all your stuff, gas and the toys.. why else would they offer a 9K axle upgrade...

Now what kind of toys do you have and where do you ride?

[BIGGIE]

I have a couple motorcycles and a quad. I ride and race at most local tracks in SoCal and the desert a few time a year. I also will use it to go up to pismo and kennedy meadows and maybe Glamis. One of the bikes is a dual sport so no need to take the trailer up to Big Bear when I can just ride out of my friends drive. I stated i a post before that I did rent a 23ft trailer to go to Pismo and not the lite model. The grade coming home on the 101 was a little long but dropped into 2nd to keep the truck at 55mph for a little bit at the top of the hill. Other than that the trip was no problem fr the Titan.


Do you still have the Rino in your pic? how do you like it and where do you take your trips?

[Derwud]

Yes, still have the Rhino.. I also have a WR450, which I wish was Dual Sported... I ride just anywhere, from Glamis to Pismo, except Barstow....

Pismo is an easy trip, besides the one big hill, I can stay in 3rd and crest the hill at 55. I have never taken it, but the grade to Kennedy Meadows might be a killer with the larger trailer..

I really would love to know what the sticker in the cabinet says on those models.. Most Manufactures list weights in the brochure if an EMPTY trailer, without fridge, microwave, generator, and just about anything else.. When they make the white sticker they add the weights back in. As for the tongue weight, I'm sure the weigh it with nothing in the trailer and nothing on the tongue, (batteries or LPG tank)... Mine was listed as 600 lbs, but is closer to 1200 lbs..

I will let you Know when I go back to look at it tomorrow. It does have the axles for the 9000 GVWR rating so is that really what the max weight of this trailer will be? I am guessing dry it weighs around 7600lbs with all the options but not sure on the tounge weight. It will weigh about 300lbs less when I take out the drop down bed in the back.

I would ask the dealer if you can take it to the scale and weigh it before you buy it..

Remember the GVWR does not include Tongue Weight... So if the trailer weighs 7600 lbs and you have a 1200 lbs tongue weight, you are pulling 8800 lbs.. You would also be over the payload cap of the truck as well..

Now, how eager are you to buy? The big RV show is coming in Oct as well as the Sand Sport show in Sept. great places to look and see a few more trailers!

[Shane06fl]

truthfully all you need to be concerned with is tongue weight and the GVWR. If you plan on getting the upgraded axles with a 9000 GVWR I would say get a 3/4 ton truck. You maxing out your truck. A bumper pull TT of that size will have those weight numbers unless it's a ultra light.

Ok called eclipse and talked to them and they told me that the 27ft zero gravity model in the link I posted has a dry weight of 6430lbs including tounge weight. I asked if that included the tanks and double drop down beds.... and they said yes. They also offered to let me or have the dealer bring it down to their scale to weigh it.

I sold a few of these when I was in the RV industry

I still say you want to read the white sticker in the cabinet.. and 6430, you have to have the 9k axles or you will be over the GVWR the first time you go to the bathroom..

[BIGGIE]

6430LBS is what he said is on the sticker that is the weight of the trailer when it leaves the shop with all options.
