I wanted to reopen a thread on this topic because the last post I saw on it was from 2009. Spyders have changed a lot since then.

Has anyone had success find and pulling a teardrop trailer with their Spyder? The lightest on I have found is 500 pounds with a 50 pound tongue weight. I would like to find one that is lighter so that I can load more gear.

Can't give you any leads but you are smart to ask. The 500 and 50 lb numbers well exceed the Spyder's rating for towing which are 400 lbs and 40 lbs max.

Do you know if he built it himself or did have someone build it?
