Thank you. I am thinking about either a 16 or 19 and its good to know the Ranger can tow either without a problem. Pros and cons for these two trailers and the wet bath in the 16 is the primary...

Thanks for pointing out the real world difference for tongue wts. I'm sure you are right about it easily weighing more than its specs. I suspect I'm going to be good at 600lbs because I don't see...

I believe you can request a tire that has a more tread pattern with wider more chunky knobs. They offer tires that are either better suited for pavement or dirt/grass. Go to their site for more info.
