I just got this 2008 American Freedom 15' toy hauler. It was damn hard to find one the H3 can handle with the amenities I wanted but I found this one. It has a full bathroom, seperate shower, full kitchen, dinette and sofa that turn into beds, AC, 60 gal fresh water tank, black and grey tanks, 5 gal water heater, outside shower, etc....It weighs about 2900lbs dry so its on the light side. I got a weight distributing hitch with anti sway and it towed solid, I was impressed.

It looks pretty roomy considering its size. What will you be using this for? What type of trips?

You need to put a nice Hummer logo on the back of it....

60 Gallons in a toy hauler is pretty damn impressive. I was looking at something similar last year but wasn't sure how the H3 would handle the 3000 lb arena, considering I have a stick.
Does it have power-assisted brakes? How does the H3 handle pulling it?

Nice looking set-up. What are the toys you are hauling. Could be a nice hunting set up also.

A Hummer logo would look cool on the back, it needs something, but I'm glad it doesnt have all those stripes and swirls like most trailers.
For now the only toy I have is a sweet 12.5cc off road go-ped , I really would like a Polaris Razor but those things are not cheap. I'll probably get a quad in the next few months...
It does have electric brakes, I installed a brake controller in the H3 myself, and at 3000lbs it towed great, much better than I expected. I averaged 55-60mph on the flats and got down to ~45mph on some long steep hills but overall it towed no problem. I'll probably try and fill up the water tank when I reach my destination and that will save almost 500lbs. For my lil 3.5L engine I have to say again that it towed it very well, better than I expected, and no rear end squat.
First trip is planned for presidents day weekend, were staying close to home and going to San Clemente state beach. Hopefully I'll do a better job backing this in to the campsite than I did parking it at my house, my trailer backing-up skills are not quit up to par yet

Niiiiice!
Looks really comfy and plush!
I am hoping to pick up a toy hauler in a couple of years, and it is good to know that there is one that the H3 will tow (although I have to say I am not looking forward to the Cajon Pass loaded with mx bikes.) Glad to hear that the H3 did well with it.
