Smile New to the forum

Hi All:

Like some of the other I have the TT bug. I am considering purchasing the Rockwood 1905 Mini Lite.

If any of you own this trailer can you let me know what you are towing it with. I am looking at a pickup because I don't believe my Ford Escape will work (in spite of every sales rep telling me "no problem".

Thanks, and glad to be here.

Welcome to FRF,

and YES you'll need a different tow vehicle.

The "dry" tongue alone already exceeds the Escape's max hitch capacity. And that's without battery, propane, water and cargo.
And the loaded weight of the trailer will also exceeds the Escape's max towing.
And thirdly, the Escape has a frontal area limit which the trailer will easily exceed.
