It is a 23.5 ft trailer the GVW is 2400KG, and a pin weight of 320 KG, so yes it does fall within the specs my Ranger.
If my math is right, once you load the trailer and include a couple of passengers you're going to be right at the weight limit or maybe a little more than the rangers total payload capacity. No wiggle room at all. I wouldn't risk that, but you do you. Especially since there are so many lighter trailers around that the Ranger would have no problem towing safely even fully loaded.

Yes, I am aware of that, and keeping a close eye on those exact concerns. Thanks for the input.

That Scamp 19' has a GVWR of 4,000 pounds, and tongue weight of 550 pounds max, well within the safe range of the Ranger. If I didn't want a topper or loss of use of the bed, I would totally consider one of those.
