towing

Hello, I would like the opinion of those of you with more experience on driving in wind to see if what I felt seemed about right and not a problem I need to diagnose with my tow vehicle/trailer combination. I suspect all is fine/normal but considering the safety element, I am looking for...

I know this topic has been ran into the ground, but I'm even more confused now after visiting the local CAT scale. For give me in advance for my stupidity lol. I went to the scales twice today. The first time was with just the truck, with the fifth wheel hitch, wife, the dog and a full tank of...

What roadside assistance to you use that would tow both the truck and travel trailer. It’s renewal time and we have GoodSams and Forest River that came with the camper for the first year but they don’t cover the truck. The truck Coverage and AAA I think only tow the truck. Can someone explain?

Hi all, New to the forum but looking for real world feedback from Tacoma owners who tow an Escape 19. We have a 2020 Tacoma DCSB 6 speed manual and very much like the size and fit of the 19. I’ve read a bunch of posts on here and elsewhere but there’s conflicting feedback on the Tacoma’s towing...

I wanted to share a problem as an FYI just in case anyone else here has the same problem. I picked up my trailer after sitting at the dealer for repairs for 3 months. My batteries were dead when I picked it up. About an hour and a half into my 3 hour drive I started to get error messages on...

I’m soon taking delivery on a M-L 2509S. I need to haul an adult trike and a regular bike. I did include a rear bike carrier on the camper order. My tv is a f150 with a rigid bed cover. There are some foldable trikes but still have the rear width of 31”. I would appreciate any ideas, input and...

Ball Park, what should I spend to have a flat towing system hooked up to my Class C RV that will tow a jeep Cherokee, base plate included?

My years (2012 to current) RVing are relatively short compared to many. My first RV was a 39’ TT, then I had a 35’ 5th wheel, then went to a 35’ Class A DP and in 2020 I downsized to a 25’ Vibe. Up until my Vibe all my tow vehicles and Class A were diesel so fueling up was never really a concern...

Anyone have experience towing with the V6 Dodge Durango? Our camper's GVWR is 4800lbs, Durango can tow 6200. I know the numbers work, just curious if anyone has towed similar numbers with the V6 and wished they had the V8?

Hey Campers - we have a 2018 F-150 Ford Platinum 5.0 gasser and pull a 2018 Microlite 21DS. We camp 4 nights monthly with this combo to many Texas state parks within an hour or two from our house. And have been doing so for 3 years. I am not at all sure how sort out the weight limits from the...

Hi All: I will be taking delivery of a new Isata 3 FW, with auto levelers, within the next couple of weeks. I am debating about towing a car and am interested to hear what Isata 3 owners do. My initial thought is that the Isata 3 is small enough that a toad may not be necessary, but it my be...

I am picking up a new Surveyer Legend in two weeks in Missouri. I've never towed a trailer this large, and there may be snow. Should I put chains on the trailer? All advice is welcome!

We are planning a trip from Indiana to Reno, NV in our 2021 Coachmen Mirada motorhome. I plan to flat tow my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. My research has indicated that the Blue Ox towbar is a good solution, but I'm challenged at selecting a supplemental braking system for the Wrangler, though the Blue...

Hello all, I'm currently doing research for a hitch for my 349M that will be arriving in the spring, I'm new to 5th wheels, been towing TT's for the last 15 years. I was wondering what kind of feedback you all have regarding this hitch, specifically ride quality while towing. I'm interested in...

Hello, Does anyone know if the Epro20FBS model is equipped to have a hitch on the back for towing a jet ski ? And would this be legal?

I am new to the RV world and flat towing to start! I have a 2015 Forester 2861DS and a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. Do I need to change the stock front bumper and what tow bar would be acceptable? Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Hello, My wife and I are looking at a Grey Wolf 22Mkse. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull it. With the UVW of about 4300, we are well within the 6200lb towing capacity. However, the GVW is upwards of 7500 lbs. I guess my question is how much does the average person add for gear? The 3300...

Curious, Anyone towing with the 2020 or 2021 Mega Cab 3500> DRW or SRW? Hitch weight is ~ 2700. SRW with 4:10 rear is rated for 5400# I know it will require a slider, though not sure how much I would need to use the slider except for plus 90 degree turns.

Recently purchased a '20 Jeep Cherokee. I've already set it up to tow, but I've run across an old post about a tech bulletin on activating the electric power steering. Apparently this bulletin refers back to 2014 KL models and was reissued to cover up to 2017. I've asked my dealer if I need...

hi folks, I'm looking at a fifth wheel with 13k loaded weight. To tow it, I want to trade in my existing pickup for something new. (switching from diesel to gas- I like diesel, just don't like the expense) using Dodge's official VIN decoder for tow capacity here...
