What newer trailers CAN I tow?

[55AS]

My suggestions are:
Smaller vintage AS (our 55 FC weighs about 3100 lbs)
Look at TrailManor hard sided folding trailers (lighter than AS, more insulated than a pop up)

There is a foot note to the 4500# in his owners manual and that is only for a low profile boat.

For a trailer he is limited to 3500#.

This has to do with frontal area and weight of the trailer.

So he is limited to a 16' Sport and not much gear with his 4 passengers.

Stay within manufacture spec's and be happy .

I had two dry pavement panic stops. When the ABS activated the the momentum of the trailer pushed the Astro severely almost into the car that felt cutting my following distance was a good idea.

You may want to check the adjustment on your brake controller, if you haven't already done that. When set properly, I would hope the trailer brakes participate in helping you to stop vs. pushing you into the idiot who cut you off.
