I have a 2006 Ranger Sport 3.0 5spd 4.10 gears. I want to get a palomino pop top camper, Weight 1000lbs. But I want to be able to tow my boat with it as well. The boat is a 16 aluminum with 35 hp (2 stroke). I am guessing the weight of the boat trailer and motor is about 1100 lbs aprox. I hope to install air bags to support the rear and am going to try to adust the boat trailer tongue weight to close to little or nothing.
My truck says 1400 lbs max people plus cargo so I should be okay. The camper is a pop top so it will be fairly aero dynamic compared to the hard tops that stick up a lot higher.
My truck says 2200 lbs towing so I think I am okay there as well. I might be over with everything for my truck but not by much and I think the airbags will take care of the sagging.
I like my truck so I don't want to damage it but I think I should be okay because I will only be towing 100-200km trips flat praires. I think as long as I don't have to drive into strong winds it should do fine.
opinions?
Also I wanted to add that I know this will be tough on the clutch on the ramps but I'm really good with the clutch so think I should be fine there as well.
