Traveler Harvester
I have several gooseneck trailers - but honestly, 7k towing capacity would be kind of worthless with them - one weighs that unloaded. Ram will probably pull it off - but it does add battery location problems

FWIW, did manage to ding my B&W hitch pretty hard a couple weeks ago. No problems to the hitch, but did knock off one of the pin clips (and almost lost the pin before I realized it). Lost 2 clips in one week - brush at the ranch snagged another (found it when walking down a path I had traveled with the truck a few days earlier - don't drive that path often, so there is decent sized brush on it.
I think the pickup is 10k towing. Still not a lot after weight of trailer. My operation is small, so I'm typically not using the BIG GN trailers.

I have 3 goosenecks - one I can not really use anymore because trucks have gotten too tall (I can tow it, but all the weight is on its rear axle). The other 2 are heavy. Even if the Scout could move them, I would REALLY worry about the range while doing it. Would not enjoy needing to recharge with livestock or horses waiting on me to get home.

But it is a mute point for me, as I am wanting a Traveler not a Terra. The trailers I would tow with the Traveler are probably only 3k lbs or so. Lawnmowers and light boats.
