  1. I looked up towing capacities of ATVs and UTVs. Most ATVs average 1200 lbs. UTVs average about 1600 lbs and some are maxed out at 2000lbs or less. A very few to to 2300 lbs. Towing capacities are rated on flat, hard surfaces and include the weight of the trailer and cargo. Water weighs 8.33 lbs per gallon. You can use that figure to determine how much water you an carry. The heavier the towing vehcile, the heavier the towing capacity becomes. Also consider that a heavy load can put a lot of stress on the drive belt. My ride can tow 2000 lbs. Still not large enought for what you need. My ride also has a limit as to how long out the back the tow hitch can extend (limited to 3"). If I go out too far, physics relating to leverage can damage my frame. There's a lot to consder when towing a loaded trailer. You may find that a 4-wheel trailer with axles in front and rear to support 100% of the load without any tongue weight MIGHT work better provided your brakes can handle the stopping requirements. I don't know if electric brakes can be adapted to a light trailer and the ATV/UTV electrical system. Good luck on any solution to have.
