towing

So my wife and I decided to stop and weigh our TT and vehicle on a CAT scale for the first time to get some real numbers. See attached statistics/stickers. The TT was fully loaded with one full propane tank. The payload was distributed evenly and I only had a quarter tank of gas. I know I...

New to the forum, but not new to forums.... I may be posting this in the wrong place. If so, forgive me. I have a question that so far I haven' been able to figure out. I've searched rv forums and f150 forums, so I'm taking a shot to see if I can find a definitive answer. Will a 2021 F150s...

Hi. I just bought a Micro Lite 23LB yesterday. It is supposed to weigh 4,000 lbs empty and it was pretty much empty. It seemed to be harder to tow then a Winnebago Minnie we rented in February that weighed probably 6,500 lbs. I don't understand it. I didn't have my "tow/haul" switch turned on...

Either gas or diesel?

I recently purchased a 2020 Jeep Rubicon its has the 4 cylinder turbo. The jeep has plenty of towing power for the hills of the Pacific Northwest. We tow a 2020 NoBo 10.5. Our only issue is the trailer dances/ wiggles making it a chore to manage curves at freeway speeds. We have tried adjusting...

I am towing a 2018 Equinox. I have a stehl tow dolly , using basket straps rated for 18” tires. My problem is the strap is getting cut ? Looks like maybe rubbing on the Strut . It seems very close back there? I am sure it’s something I am not doing right . Once tightened down and starting...

We’re eyeing the NoBo 19.8 but would like to tow it with a mid-size truck like a frontier or Colorado. The Colorado has the highest payload of mid-size trucks but they’re kinda stupid expensive, even for used. A Taco has low payload, typically around 1150#. The Frontier has a payload around 1380...

We are looking into towing a Wildwood FSX with our own usd Uhaul 15 ft box truck. The major concern is turning radius due to short distance between TV and rig. We are using an E2 equalizing hitch and the truck only comes with a 2" ball on a flat bar. We need a receiver installed and have NOT...

Don't flat tow in 4-low! https://www.thedrive.com/news/39794/rv-driver-annihilates-their-new-jeep-wrangler-by-flat-towing-it-in-4-low I'm pretty sure it grenaded well before it hit the theoretical 50,000 rpm. But still, the carnage is impressive!

I understand that a RV dealer just wants to sell an RV and an auto dealer just wants to sell a vehicle. That being said, every RV dealer I have talked to and most truck dealers all say "you can tow that with a half ton". And when I mention payload, they say "the big concern is the towing...

Considering purchasing a 2021 GT5 34H5 soon but concerned about the 5000 towing capacity. Our Jeep is 5500 lbs., probably a stupid question but will the additional 500 lbs. truly be a concern? Disclaimer, we are newbies and trying to do our due diligence before we pull the trigger.

Would love some feedback - New to this community. The axles are already flipped. I have 6"-7" clearance from rails. I feel like I am slightly nose high. I would like to install some airbags to reduce some of the sag, but that is going to cause me to be a little higher on the nose. Any thoughts?

Hello, I will be towing my RW HW296 this season with a 2020 toyota tundra TRD. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a good stabilizer hitch to get for this camper? I see there's a small "ball" on the left side of the hitch, but when I contact RW they didn't have any input or...

I have a 2000 325S Georgetown with V10 Ford engine. I put steel bushing inserts in heads for all the spark plugs, and accel coils. Engine and trans has 45k miles, I’m curious if I should be able to tow a 3250lbs car on my tow Dolly without much problems? It’s pretty flat tow from Portland OR to...

Hello all. I have a FR3 32ds. I am looking at towing a 2021 ford expedition max. they weight between 5500 to 5700 lbs. I looked in the FMC guide for 2021 and it seems that this can be towed behind. I have a some of questions. 1. flat tow, what type of conversations would I need and would it void...

I have been doing some research online and I found out that the RAM 1500 have the best MPG but not so much compact. Any recommendation? or things I need to look for? I prefer the truck to be compact and small enough but still have the power to tow 5000lb with no issues. Saving gas is a big...

I am totally new to towing and RV life. I have a 2004 X5, v6 3.0l, which according to specs has a towing capacity of 6000lbs, Horsepower 225 @ 5900 RPM, Torque 214 @ 3500 rpm. My mechanic told me that the hitch he can install on this car has specs of 7000lbs towing and 700lbs tongue weight...

I don't think this is doable, but My friend just brought the NOBO 19.3 and is towing it with his benz glb 250. I did some calculation and he is maxing out. He have been on the road for over 1000 miles now and I guess he is doing fine. :) What are your thoughts on this? NOBO 19.3 unloaded...

Can the E-Pro E20BHS 2021 model be towed by a 2011 Honda Pilot EXL 4WD V6 AllWheelDrive? I bought the Pilot brand-new in 2010 & it is in great condition with 105,000 miles on it. I've been towing a ~2,000lb Jayco Pop-up for several years using the Pilot w/o any problems. Although the E20BHS...

I have a 2014 Georgetown XL, and just bought a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport to use as a toad. The Jeep has a curb weight of 3850 lbs, so it is not exactly a heavy load. I am looking at kits to attach everything - tow bar, mounting bracketry, cables, wiring, braking system, etc. There are two that...

We are getting ready to head up to a local ski resort with our travel trailer next weekend. Every time we are up there there are a few dozen folks camping, so we figured what the hell and got a spot. We plan on towing up in the afternoon and down in the afternoon, so it will be mostly above...

Hi all, anyone towing a 26DBH with a 2018 Yukon or similar? Max tow is 8100#. Payload is 1600#. I have the max tow package and plan to pack light. I do plan to go up and down the sierras. Regards

I towed my 2017 Ford Edge with a Blue Ox system on our last motorhome, so my Edge is already rigged with a base plate. My Georgetown has a hitch receiver that's rated for 5,000lbs and my Edge is right around 5,000 curb weight. Has anyone here towed a Ford Edge with their Georgetown 30x3? Brent
