I got three more deletes. It came from this admin guy that has a red taco with huge wheels and an American flag. I am not able to respond. I would like to see why my comments about a guy who posts a video about a trailer that is being towed by a vehicle that is over it's towing capacity is off...

Jamin is the antithesis of a millennial. Hard working, humble, skilled and very knowledgeable!

Something interesting happened yesterday. My bell icon was highlighted and I had four messages saying " your post has been deleted. Reason- off topic" they were four of my blunt messages about the discussion on towing this trailer. Then I went back and it did not appear like they really got...

Well said especially if the trailer is 9+ feet tall box. Short wheelbase suv a are not the best. My GX 460 is stock but has 10 ply ko2s, rock sliders and trimmed front bumper. The departure angles suck but I would take it as a tow vehicle over a Bronco with 37 s and or 4 runner all day long...

Gotcha!

Oh no your going to tow an x 145 with a subaru. Just kidding. My last post was trailer related. I mean trailers do have to be towed right? I will back off. Hey no such thing as bad press right. I do look forward to next post of the mods Monty... does.

Okay in regard to your trailer and trying to counter balance 150 ish pounds off the tongue. You will be rolling with a 5plus k trailer with a 450 pound tongue weight. Do you really think that will not effect sway?

Well that's a Toyota not a Ford. Just kidding. Yes we all have our risk limits. I towed my 4k loaded trailer with a borrowed Taco and the tranny was all over the place on steep mnt roads. Are you saying you towed a 8,000 pound trailer with your Taco?

Arktos are awesome! Galvanized chassis.

I am just trying to educate myself on the Bronco Raptor. Trying to convince a guy who is towing a Xplore X 145 (dry weight 4,400 lbs/ tongue dry weight 450) off road trailer with his new Raptor that he is over capacity. My guess is it will be 5,200 / 600 tongue weight loaded. I believe he has...

Gotcha. So one could alter the suspension to get a fitmer ride for towing? Would that be expensive and add weight? Do they come with 37" 10 ply tires stock?

So the new Bronco Raptor uped thier game to 4,500 gwr ( 450 tongue). So what is it about a Bronco that limits the towing capacity. I mean the new Wrangler goes to 5k. The 4 runner the same. 2023 GX460 is 6,500. Would you all consider the Raptor a good tow vehicle with 37" tires including the...

PSA- To any Bronco Rapter owners out there who are considering an Xplore X145. Please see the attached Ford Towing Chart. The x145 is likely over tounge capacity in an empty trailer let alone a loaded one. It's even more over if you keep you spare tire on the rear of the Bronco. There is not...

They do have the typical made in china issues. One of them being broken trailing arm suspension do to shoddy welding

Ya Toyota and Lexus are similar with gx 460 and tacoma s. I like my red arc. Seems much better then the built in controler on the US Land Cruiser.

That makes sense. Quick question. I have a aftermarket red arc brake controller on my Lexus GX. I assume you have the optional Ford Bronco specific brake controller. Would an arc controller work or do you have to use the Ford option?

KIMBERLY KARAVAN ECO-SUITE seems more like your style. Just saying not knowing

That 145 with cruise master suspension is quite capable. But I agree the trailer is the base camp not a recreational toy like a mountain bike is. Huge fan of Isotherm frig. I have the 130 and it is so reliable and with temperature control very efficient.

Man you are stubborn. Can't you just admit you are illegal and over tow capacity but are going to go for it anyway. The only reason I am being such a pest is so other people don't think they can tow a xplore 145 with a Bronco

Yes sir I know GVWR is 6,172. Dry weight is 4,400 pounds (450 tounge weight rating). So ever pound of water, propane, gear etc you add will be how far you are over your tow capacity let alone tounge capacity. This will go from 500 to 1,000 pounds over legal towing capacity. Throw the 85% rule...
