All,
I have not really seen any bumper pull toy haulers at the track and I presume that's largely because the bumper pull versions all have garages too short for an SRF. Well, I found one and it's just downright awesome. Several folks came by at Sebring and loved it as well.
If you'd like information, feel free to drop me a line at dennystripling at gmail.
Mine is a 2012 Jayco Octane ZX. The car fits in it like a hand in a glove and I can put my wheels/tires on the top queen bed and just snug them up to the ceiling. So far (2800 round trip miles to Sebring) it's working like a champ and I love it.
Moral of the story: don't let a bumper pull tow vehicle stop you from getting an awesome toy hauler for your SRF!
(yes, yes I know that 5th wheel opens your options considerably, but I have one of those totally awesome wives who is totally not down with the idea of a pick up truck but loves the Excursion... we all have our constraints ).

Denny, do you have any idea how tall those things are?

What pickup truck do you tow your hauler with?

Hey roadglider, just now seeing this.
It's a heavy trailer, especially fully laden. I think I was around 9k with 100 gallons of water in it. I tow it with a diesel Excursion and would recommend something of that ilk (F-250ish... is that 3/4 ton? I think so). Steve, yes. Yes I do. ____________

I have heard good things about the Excursion. |

I love mine, though it has the 6.0 Powerstroke so it was not without drama. A fair chunk of change later and I expect her to be near bulletproof for a long time. We will see.
