Default 25 Tantrum Weight

Does anyone know what the weight of a 25 Tantrum and Trailer is?

I'm looking at an 09 Jeep Liberty with a towing capacity of 5000lbs.

Thanks.

Having driven a Jeep Liberty, I would say no.

R'Addiction will have real world on trailer weights. I don't recall them.

I'd hate to even tow it with my GF's Jeep Grand Cherokee with the V8.

No way a Jeep Liberty will pull it or STOP it. A 25 is probably about 6k on the trailer. You need a minumum of half ton truck or full sized SUV.

Like the others say 1/2 ton truck at least to stop it.

Well, the newer Libertys are more like the size of an older cherokee. I'm only towing 12 miles, I'll have to give it a try.

Why even ask the question then??
Not one person thought it was able to tow a 25 AT safely.

I had a guy bring me a 25' center console at my part time job to install a bunch of stereo equipment in. He towed it with a Liberty. I don't know how he did it.. Rear suspension was bottomed out and sounded like a struggle when he left.. I can only imagine him trying to stop. This was on flat surface... He mentioned how he wished he had a truck because it was bad pulling with what he had. All that money he put into a stereo could have been a down payment on a bigger/better tow vehicle....

My 25 weighs 3982lbs ran down to an empty fuel tank. My SFT aluminum trailer weighs 840-ish lbs.
My boat is a custom build-layup, so a standard layup is probably a few hundred lbs heavier?
