What Camper are you towing?

[j_marinelli]

Yeah I'm interested in something, but with two little boys that's too many bodies for a teardrop. Maayyyybe a larger one with a RTT. Or maybe one with a huge awning for some cot bunk beds.

I like the Encore version with a "bunk bed" inside but then I quickly remember that our oldest (14yo) is going through his stanky phase lol. Throwing a RTT on some of those is an option as well though there is appeal for potentially being able to leave door open to the tented area and cool/heating that area as well.

Trying hard to stay under max towing capacity... Barley made it.

Did the 2026 have increased towing capacity? Got this in an email today from Ford showing 4500lbs

That 2nd footnote is doing a lot of work...

The Braptor (3.0L) has always had a 4,500lb tow capacity. All other trims are 3,500lbs.

What weight distribution hitch would you suggest for that setup ?

Got them both out for a quick overnight with my niece who’s 6.

Probably needs a 2 1/2 inch ball for that rig.

Set it up today, air it out before camping starts.

I feel that those can entice people to tow more than they should.

Yeah, I hate it when technology enables us to do things we shouldn't.

I saw an expedition towing a HUGE 5th wheel camper with a Safety Hitch. I stayed FAR away from them.
