I'm looking for a toy hauler to be towed with our 08 toyota fj. tow capacity is 5000 lb. My 05 ultra prob. weighs bout 1200 lbs.(need to get it weighed)
Does any one know of toy hauler manufacturers (bumper pull) that I could research?

Do you mean as in a Camper/Toy hauler or just a open bed trailer ?
Rob .....
Look at the KZ brand they have both trailers and 5th wheelers.....
Let me know if U need any info on camping or finding the web site...
we have a 37 ft toyhauler... look in my album
Good luck...

Katfish, didn't you send me the link to an introductory toy hauler a guy from Tenn had for sale?
I think it was a smaller one. I'll try to find the link.
My son wants me to buy a 38' from the dealer in Dothan, Al. I would need a new truck to pull that big thing.
I need to keep my old truck for a few more years. It feels good not to have a truck payment.
Now is the time to buy. Great prices. Many thousands off from retail.
BDN,we got our RV from Opelika Rv, Opelika Al.
it is 37 ft and we have a one ton Dodge Duelley, diesel . If U got a 38 ft that would put it about 40ft. The model length and actual length never match....
So look real hard at the truck part.. We do not carry a ton of items since we are not full timing.. It is not what the truck can pull but what it can STOP, I have had some pucker factors a couple of times.....
Also the mark up on RV's is bad, we got 28% off MSRP so that tells U how much room they had to play...
Best of luck and if I can confuse u any other way just let me know...

Hello,
You do not want to tow any type trailer with the bumper.Install the appropriate weight rated frame hitch (CURT HITCHES) IS A REASONABLE HITCH. Also,some cargo trailers can be fitted with etrack from which a bunk can be attached.A company in Washington is building cargo trailers with a tent trailer style tip out.The weight rating of vechicle means you will need to subtract passengers and supplies in vehicle from your GVWR.Good luck and be safe.
