Default Post a picture of your truck + trailer combo!

I ordered both a 2019 Raptor and will be ordering a trailex enclosed trailer in a month. I'd love to see what you guys use!

Congratulations on the Raptor order. I've had this same plan when I get rid of the Macan. I'll be curious to hear how you like towing with the Raptor or to hear from others that might do this.

You'll love the truck If I did it all over again, I'd probably find a light ATC/Intech instead of the Trailex. Truck can pull bigger trailer no worries, however there's no WDH on trailex so gotta keep eye on tongue weight. And I'm tired of pulling out the dump ramps from under - would much prefer to just drop the door.

Spoke with a SPB racer at Sebring this weekend and he was complaining that he couldn't haul his trailer with his raptor due to the limited payload (800 lbs) and 6,000 towing capacity.

Depends on how long and heavy his trailer is. Not many hills to contend with in Florida.
