I wouldn't even attempt it.

The consensus seems to be no more than 80% of your max towing. I would try and stick to the sub-20' class of ultralite trailers. Anything over that and you should be pulling with a 3/4 or 1-ton, or larger if needed.

I'm with BlackandRed. WHat is the dry weight of the trialer you are looking at? I take it you are also planning on loading all the quads you have listed.

Personally I wouldn't tow anything more than a 21 footer with a 1/2 ton. Maybe a 23ft WW Superlite but that is about it.

I pull a 26' toy hauler with a 3/4 ton 6.0L. With 4 quads in it on any type of hill, it has it's tongue hanging out. Dry weight of the trailer is 5500#. You will HAVE to install air bags for the rear suspension or add a weight distributing hitch. I wouldn't be against pulling it with that.
