Hi Captrick. As it so happens I just joined the forum yesterday and I happen to have a 2005 Baja 23FB. I have owned it for over a year now and have taken it on several short trips and one long trip from San Antonio to Northern Idaho and back (about 6,000 miles). I pulled it with my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with the big Hemi. I will tell you this, the trailer is awesome it pulls great and the Jeep did a good job at it, but it is a heavy trailer. It is built for off road use and that is exactly why I bought it. When you see it parked next to a regular or lite weight trailer you can immediately see the difference. The frame is much stronger, the tires are larger and have an agressive tread. I have taken it on some pretty rough dirt roads with no problems. I even got trapped in a parking lot spot by cars that parked too close to me. No problem, I put the Jeep in 4 Wheel Low and just drove over the Island Curbs. The Jeep and the Baja didn't blink an eye. Problem solved! I have owned several trailers and a 35 ft motor home, and I must say, for it's intended use this is a great trailer. There is plenty of space inside, with all the amenities, but it is the outside features that shine. The outside rear cooking area is great and I even have an electric 12/120 volt electronic cooler I put out there. Then there is the outside shower. I am a SCUBA Diver so after a dive I can shower and clean my gear without messing up the full, but small inside shower. As an extra bonus this trailer has an unusual storage feature. Under the Front Queen size bed is a large outside storage compartment that goes almost the all the way across the trailer, similar to a 5'r. The only reason it doesn't is because of the Generator Box on the opposite side. My generator was missing when I got my unit, but I picked up a nice almost new unit that I will be installing when I get home from Brazil (I work offshore) next month. I just bought a new 2013 Ram 2500HD 4X4 Diesel Truck Because I didn't like the way my F150HD pulled it, and the Jeep while it pulled OK, it sucked gas something terrible and slowed down on some of steep grades we have on the west coast. I will be upsizing in a couple of years to a 5'r but I am going to keep my Baja because it can go places (in comfort) that a 5'r can only dream about. I am not sure, but when I compared my Baja to my brothers Toy Hauler TT it looked like we hade the same size frame but my tires where a little larger. Like I said, it's a little heavy, but I have taken it places you wouldn't dare take a regular trailer. I Love my Baja. It's a Keeper.
