[QUOTE="Raptornador, post: 1955279, member: 68767"] I'm a week in on a used Raptor. The plan is to tow a 6k (loaded) travel trailer, with dirt bike, 2 suitcase generators, gas, two passengers. I was fully aware of the 8k limit and payload and was going to address it with suspension mods. I just picked up my trailer from the service department and was surprised just how little it sagged. I have to wonder if the previous owner put in heavier duty leaf springs. The ride quality is super nice so if it was done it sure didnt hurt it. Wondering if there are any markings on the leafs to figure this out. The trailer was mostly unloaded and per the specs dresses at 4700lb with a tongue weight of 475. I went thru the thinking on the Raptor vs 2500 question. My thoughts were I wanted a vehicle that could tow my toys to my spot, unload and the wife and I jump in the vehicle and go exploring the zillion miles of forest roads we have here without getting beat up with lame ride quality. The 2500 could be made descent with suspension work but why not just do that with the Raptor. Plus I just took this Raptor out ripping the trail and it's just too much amazing fun. [/QUOTE]
