What is the weight on your trailer loaded up like in the pic?

3,800. It's 2,700 dry. Aluminum chassis and 3/4 " frp honeycomb sidewalls are very lightweight. To level trailer and still leave it hitch (just a one light stay) i had chalks under the Lexus front wheels and the drivers side trailer tire dug into sand. Makes the trailer look wonky (heavy).

Hey Tex did you think it weight more?

I did but I also have owned many GX's (still have one) and I know they are super soft out back and don't really tow at their max tow rating all that well so I wasn't surprised by the squat.

GX are awesome. With auto leveling air bags in the rear, 10 ply ko2s and only 350 lbs of tounge weight there is no squat whatsoever

Yea, not a big fan of those bags. They are great vehicles, we are on our third GX. I don't do much in the way of towing with ours anymore since it's a joke in comparison to the truck but it's nice to know that it's decently capable with a 4K load should I ever need it.

Yes absolutely but for my travels I would never pull over 4k with GX. Love the new LX 700 h Overtrail but 125k is crazy. I did reserve a Scout Terra EV but that will 2028 before they are to market.

Yea, 3000-3500lbs is my max with the GX, I don't think they do all that well north of that weight. We will be picking up the new GX550 Overtrail in the next 12-18 months, but likely keeping our current GX460 as well. I plan to make the 460 my mileage mule for local daily travel needs.

Did Trail Marker make this entire camper? When I looked them up it looked like they only make the trailer part. Thank You.
