Tow micro minnie travel tailer







did you ever end up with a Micro?

Im going to say no, the 2306bh is going to be over limit for you 2020.

Im going through this right now trying to figure out if im good towing a Micro Minnie 2100BH with a 2008 Explorer.

A lot more comes into play then just a "tow rating"

My 2008 has a tow rating of 7130 lbs with weight distribution and a hitch weight rating of 740 lbs.
GVWR - 6275 lbs and GCWR is 12,000 lbs.
Im estimating my Curb weight to be 4800lbs

Taking into account the Dry weight of the 2100bh being 3860 lbs with a hitch weight of 430 lbs. Add propane and front mounted batteries and that brings the hitch weight to an est of 570 lbs. Add cargo/fluids to the trailer and they adds up quick. With a GVWR on the 2100bh at 5000 lbs and an estimate of 750 lbs of cargo in the explorer (People, gear)....

Im at an estimate of a GVWR of 6120 lbs... just under the 6275 lb rating and a GCWR of 10,550 lbs.... under the 12,000 limit.

with the 2020 having a lower tow rating and a lower hitch rating, and a heavier trailer i would say no.

But if you did buy one, let me know how you like it :)
 












Sorry for the delayed response.
I wouldn't tow the 1800BH with the 2021 ST. It shows a towing capacity of 5600lbs. While the camper has a GVW of 5000lbs which is technically within the 5600lb limit it doesn't leave much room for cargo, people, dogs, cats, what have you. Plus towing right at the limit just isn't any fun.
