I ask this towing question before, but didn't get a whole lot of responses, so thought I would try again. Here we go:
I am looking at upgrading my popup to a hybrid trailer. The trailer has a tongue weight of 238 pounds and a dry weight of 3100 pounds. The type II hitch on the ST is for 350/3500 pounds. Now the ST itself is rated to handle up to 5000+ pounds with a type 3 hitch.
So, my question is this, would there be any problems pulling this trailer if I were to load it with some stuff and it were more in the 3600-3900 pound range after loading it with gear and bikes? I know the Trac can handle it, but what about the hitch?
This whole welded to the frame hitch thing is really, really starting to tick me off!
BTW- I have a 2007 ST XLT, 2WD
