BTW, I would love open and honest feedback.

P.J.S.

24 min IMHO - if you want a front workbench which you want
I think you will sell a 20 for a bigger trailer once you start towing regularly
(Or should I say that most do)

Boostin

Thanks. So what do you think about towing with Raptor? Stupid?

P.J.S.

Well... I like to plan for the worst
Towing can be easy when all is flat ground and going well
When the **** hits the fan you want to be the dog wagging the tail and not the reverse

Can it be done with a raptor - probably with the mods you mention

I had a f150 with 11k tow rating and I cannot imagine pulling a 24 tpd with it - even with WD hitch etc

I have seen a modern f150 pulling a 20 ft enclosed and its a stretch

I think if you try it, you will end up going after an HD truck

+1.

20' enclosed doesn't give you really any room for anything else besides a car.

I've got a 24' box (with 8' storage above in gooseneck) and that box length allows you to actually move around, and have tool/tire/junk space in front of the car, and still let's you properly place the car over the axles.

I agree PJS, I use to tow my 5000lb load with a 7700lb max towing capicty Touareg, and it isn't about pulling, it is all about control of the load when $hit hits the fan. I now tow the same load with a 1 ton Diesel, and it is so much more stable. I love the Raptor, but it isn't designed to haul stuff other then a$$!

The way I see it, open trailer and Raptor, or enclosed trailer and bigger tow vehicle.

Let me tell you you guys suck. Have my lowly gas F150 for now with my open trailex. Wish you guys and your crappy TPD trailers would stay off of these forums. At this rate I'll never be able to retire.


Boostin, my advice. If you have room, money, and better sense then me go with at least 24 enclosed and real tow vehicle or use open with your raptor. Thinks will be pushing to use raptor with enclosed. Just my 2 cents.

I have a new F250d with a 24ft Intech all aluminum trailer. Towed Atlanta - Austin for COTA and would not do it with less. High winds going west, were slamming the whole rig around. Plus heavy truck traffic adds it's own challenges. A smaller truck would not have been safe. Best of luck with your choices. Allan

I tow my 20' TPD and all the track crap with my Ecoboost F150 with no problems. 24' is def the way to go, no question. I know that I already want a 24' TPD at some point in the future

BTW my 20' TPD is for sale...

P.J.S.

Tpd ****
Both ex mooty trailers
Triple axle is awaiting new owner pick up
Gooseneck I just picked up

For a small fee, I can keep this location quiet, or share the address!

P.J.S.

Small deductibles and I would make money if they got stolen :-)

NorthVan

Nice, then you can buy Mooty's new one in 3 months when he is ready for a 56'

mooty

u can tow whatever with whatever
but if u asked for opinion, less than 15' is not enough.
3/4 ton DIESEL is minimum
go buy a 24 equip it the way u like
tow it with f150
after one row, u will trade in for bigger truck.

book mark this post. bc it will become reality.
