I've been eyeing this one.
Just an idea. I think its a neat little unit.

Be sure and check out the front on these. I saw many when I was looking that had delam in the front from leaking.

I just want to make this really clear. Why couldn't I tow either one of these?

I don't see any reason why not. Just get a good WD Hitch/Sway bars and a good brake controller.

Absolutely what everybody says. Either an offroad F-150 (sounds like big $$$$) OR a real truck that can safely pull a toyhauler, whether it is bumper pull OR 5er. Welcome to one of the best Forums. The other guys, not me, are really SMART.

Because you do not have the payload to tow them. Both of them with dry hitch alone and your family's needs put you over your GVWR. Load them up and you are way over. The Raptor is not a tow vehicle for campers. Boats and such with light pins, yes, but not toy haulers.

I think you could tow the smaller one, just not loaded up to the max. Realize that the listed weight does not include any options.
