what kind of toy hauler are you getting there are some really nice 5vers that should be under 15k loaded with your rhino and some other toys i would guess remember im guessing as i dont know exactly what your towing ive been looking at campers and toy haulers myself. i can give you some links if you want to different floor plans ive looked at. both 5vers and tag along units. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. http//utilityoffroad.com/forum/topic.asptopicid=8885 im preparing to purchase a toy hauler and im wondering if i have enough truck to pull it roughly 17000# fully loaded. possibly regear to 4.10s -- nathan w. collier http//utilityoffroad.com http//7slotgrille.com http//inlinediesel.com http//bighornrefrigeration.com http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911carry.com http//glockcarry.com .
