What trailer is this? It looks like a nice little toy hauler type trailer. Thanks

It is a Starcraft GPS 210rld. It looks like a toy hauler, but it isn't. We liked the deck on the back with sliding glass door. This way we can back up to the lake/ocean and enjoy

That's awesome, would be a great area for kids to play too.

Could anyone tell me some actual hitch weight numbers? My truck is rated for 9200lbs towing with 1970 lbs payload. I'm actually considering trading in my '16 F150 for a '16 F250 which is gonna cost me around 6K to do.

Plan will be to tow from FL to TN at least 2X a year and shorter trips on top of that. I have 3 kids and a wife and the campers we like are around 7K. If say the 10% hitch weight is accurate that leaves me with little over 1200 lbs. My whole family and their stuff is approx. 650lbs but the 3 kids are young and growing. Now I'm at still 550lbs for growing kids and a heavier hitch weight and/or more stuff in the bed of the truck?

Question is are the average hitch weight of the campers I'm seeing on this forumn much more than 10%. I'm thinking I can keep the truck's weight down by loading everything in the camper including the 2 dogs.
