towing

Hello, I've gone down the wormhole of towing vehicles and spent hours reading forums but still need help for our situation. My mom purchased a 2020 R Pod 178 this summer for our camping adventures. Right now, I am the only one in the family with a vehicle able to haul it (2001 Chevy Silverado...

Has anyone ever used a swivel wheel trailer? I am looking at one to haul a scooter. I would like to hear your opinion on it. Thanks, Grease

Hi all, I'm at my wits end and hope you guys can help figure this out. I apologize in advance for the long winded post. We've tried a lot of things up to this point. TT: Flagstaff Classic 826MBR TV: 2024 F250 - Snow Plow Prep Package (Stock except timbrens and dual steering stabilizers, no...

To all: I have a 2022 Coachmen Prism Elite. It has a 2'' hitch with 5,000 lb towing capacity. I recently purchased a 600cc Honda Silverwing Scooter. I am looking for ways to bring the scooter with me. I do not think I and put it on the hitch itself as the weight of the scooter and carrier would...

I have a 2022 Wolfpup 16FQ that i tow with my 2022 chevy Blazer RS which is tow rated at 4500 lbs. i use a WDH and ride has been good no issues. I'm looking though at buying a nissan frontier sv which is tow rated at 6400 lbs and if the hitch heights are the same would there be any need to...

Recently purchased a new Chaparral 5th wheel 11,500 pounds dry and had the dealer install the 20k Reese goose box. I have the B&W hitch installed under the bed with the turn over ball in the truck bed. Have towed it almost 2,000 miles already and the tugging motion back and forth is almost...

Hello, I am new to RV travelling. I am looking to buy a Class C, but I cannot figure out which type of SUV this class can tow. Would a Class C be able to tow a Yukon or Tahoe?

After many years of towing I believe I have found the best half ton truck to tow with...my 2024 GMC Sierra SLT. This really pertains to all Chevy/GMC upper trim level half tons. Mine has the Preferred Premium Plus package, which includes pretty much all the bells and whistles. It also has the...

We have ordered a new truck, towing capacity for our custom order is 9,400. Has anyone towed a Flagstaff microlite 25FKS with it? Dry weight listed as 5,850ish. Also, we are thinking of removing the stairs in the bedroom and the trays by to recliners... both are things we don't want and could...

On a recent road trip, we went over a significant bump (like a dike) at way too fast of a speed. Our truck was already descending while the trailer was still rising. If ever the hitch would fail, we thought this would be the time. But, aside from a few items thrown around in the trailer, we...

Hello all what are some options out there for towing that people are using? I see tow dollies and flat tow. Im asking for future trips right now I was looking at a tow dolly but I see people saying not good for long distances. I have a Honda Oddy 2018 curb weight around 4,500 to 4,800. But it...

Would love to hear from folks who have towed considerable miles with their half ton trucks as well as those who have had catastrophic failures related to the half ton perhaps not being enough truck. I’ve found much about travel trailer towing with half tons but surprisingly few discussions of...

I've got a 2024 Equinox 2 wheel drive that I purchased because of its four on the ground towing ability. I and my SIL installed everything to make it towable including umbilical cable that also has 12 volt for charging battery. Shortly after buying it I received a Owners Manual update that...

Hello all, I bought a 2022 F350 diesel a couple of months ago, and love it so far. We did a recent 1300 mile trip towing our 8000 lb GVWR bumper pull trailer. It towed like a dream, and the braking on this truck is SO much better than my F150 it replaced, and I mostly use engine braking when...

This was posted on the sister site but I was wondering if the boat trailer tongue on the side by side ball is safe. Sorry, highlight the link and hit open..

Do y'all tow your TT without stabilizer bars? Long story short...some A hole stole our 30' TT. As I was tracking it down (it has a gps tracker on it) and before the police could go grab it, the A hole threw away the stabilizer bars and took off the welded-on stabilizer bar receivers that were...

Hey forum. I read an old thread I couldn’t reply to. Reviving it here. I have a 2022 Roo 19. And my TV is a 2020 Grand Cherokee V8.It has the air bags stock so the suspension does adjust. Tow spec is 7200 lbs in this model. GVWR 6500.Tongue weight should be 650lbs. I have a WDH from Equalizer...

Took home a FR trailer this week and it's great. TV is a 2016 RAM 5.7. Mods include Fox 2.5 leveling shocks in the front, Fox 2.5 rear shocks and Tufttruck HD rear springs. Max TV front and rear axle ratings are 3900 lb each. Per the CAT scale, the empty TV front axle weighs 3280 lb., rear...

I am coming here for insight from those with a more towing background, and I hope someone has an engineering perspective. The dimensions on either of these two hitches are what is required. Specifically, they are short enough (meaning ball is not far aft of bumper) and the height is just right...

I am considering purchasing a 30-32-foot travel trailer and want to tow it with an SUV. The trailer's weight will be around 8,000 pounds. Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand and model of SUV that they would recommend? For example, I researched the Lexus GX, and it has a towing capacity...

We've been towing our 5.0 with a "beast" (2500 Dodge w diesel) for years. We're considering a newer truck with 6'+ bed. We like the Rams. Are there any issues,( brakes or suspension )related to setting up the fifth wheel in a half ton truck? Will a half ton. Handle it well?

I have a 2012 360DS. What are some good lightweight vehicles to tow . I'm getting too old to load onto a tow dolly. LOL Ford V-10 gasser

Please assist with the head spin: We went from a lighter, smaller A frame to a 21' Geo Pro G19FDS. Fully loaded it will be <5,500 lbs. Tow vehicle is a 2020 Ford F150 FX4 with the full tow package, which includes the sway control function. The tow weight is not an issue, but wondering if a WDH...
