    Does anyone out there tow a Catalina 273bh? We are thinking of buying one and we would like to hear about any issues since it is fairly heavy.

    If the nearly 4,700 pound dry weight is accurate that's a pretty heavy beast, and as usual with little 14 inch wheels. I found it interesting that my Scamp 16 has a ~1,800 pound dry weight but it weighs in at nearly 2,300 pounds (no, it wasn't loaded yet).

    Whenever I go camping I see 1/2-1 tons towing this size of trailer, but most people on here will say it'll pull "great" , "easy" , "can barely feel it" with a Tacoma. Everyone has a different view, but I wouldn't tow it long distance with Tacoma. Definitely 5.7L Tundra territory IMO.
