    Pulled the camper out for the season today. Pulled it with the wife's Trailblazer last year; felt really solid driving it home with the Taco. GVWR on the trailer is 5220#. Trailer is a 24ft R-Vision. Using WD hitch and Tekonsha Primus IQ brake controller.

    I towed this 12" wood chipper yesterday. The thing was surprisingly heavy with the diesel motor and all. I've got wheelers HD 3 leaf add a leafs in the back with the overload still in and I was still sagging quite a bit.

    Gross on that is 5k? Doesn't gross the max weight? I bet that thing is 5k dry.

    If you are talking about mine, yes, gross is 5.2k (and yes, gross is max). It's an ultra lite version so it's not 5k dry.

    EDIT: Trail-Lite...Model M-8240, dry weight 3520#

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Bullet 217rbs. Pulled my Tacoma a couple of feet from the hitch to see what it would look like. What do you all think?

    GVWR of that rig is 6400#. You'll definitely feel it up any hills.

    4370 lbs dry. 1000 lbs worth of gear on the conservative side still only 5370 loaded. I cant imagine putting over 1 ton worth of gear in the trailer. Maybe though, I've never owned a TT but I want one for work. I definitely don't want a full size PU. Need to live in this for a couple of months at a time so I don't want to go any smaller with the TT either.

    Your loaded weight won't be an issue as long as your cargo weight is accurate (300#+ just to fill your fresh water).

    You should be ok. Just don't tow it around with full fresh/grey/black tanks as that adds up uneccessary weight. I have a HTT that is about that same weight dry and we pull it fine, then fill the fresh tank when we get to our destination. When you leave, find the closest dump and drop off that weight. Good luck, it's a nice looking camper.
