Well it handled this fella fine (with 4K Tow Package)

Wasn’t sure about this but it handles it well. Didn’t break any speed records but never got squirmy either

Do you have the 4k tow package? (I don't see any decals on the bed fender, but you may have deleted any.)

4k doesn't have decals, fx4 does.

I do have 4K

It's not about the size.
It's how you use it.

How much weight were you towing empty and then how much weight did you add?

In order to pat you on the back and/or berate you for endangering the lives of all, we're gonna need some spec's & details.

Just spitballing, but a 3/4 place sled trailer like that weighs around 2500lbs empty and one sled weighs around 500-600lbs - assuming that's what this trailer is for. So empty, well within spec - loaded would be asking for internet berating

Looks very impressive! What was in the trailer and what was the total weight?

Nice! Any idea of the weight you pulled with this trailer?

Are we still talking about trucks here!

I can guess once I look at what that trailer weighed. But in the next few weeks I’ll have a good idea of how it handle very heavy loads.
I’ll have just over 4K on it tomorrow for a short haul. Will see how that goes. Then in a few weeks I have about the same load from Texas to Michigan to do. Planning on taking my maverick instead of my 150 but we shall see how it does before that.

I have pulled my 3100 lb boat several times no problem.

I’ve hauled my car trailer 16” enclosed with my car fuel and gear without any issues I’m sure I’m over the 4K ford states but it didn’t seem to bother it at all. My cars is 3300lbs alone.

Snox801, it sounds like you've done a lot of hauling with a trailer before so most likely have already dealt with what I'll share;

With the large side surface area of that trailer and being it's fairly long, and with having the axles near the middle, my fear would be side winds and semi trucks. The semi's passing me or me passing them.

I've had some white knuckle experiences pulling a large camper with a strong headwind at about 45 degrees and a semi going around me in the same direction. Not with my Maverick yet, but larger trucks.

Anyways, stay safe. I'm sure you've come across that situation by now and know what to expect.
