towing

Hello everyone! I have a 2013 Ford Explorer with 3.5L V6 4WD and towing pkg. I am considering buying a Rockwood HW296/ Flagstaff HW29SC. Will I be able to tow this with my vehicle? This is one of the reasons that I want a pop-up. I appreciate the help!

Will a 2021 DynaMax Isata 3 tow a 2 door Jeep Rubicon safley ? Is the engine capable enough going up hills. I really wanna pull a Jeep but I don't want to damage the motor.

Been camping with my brother and his 350 for 7 years so I'm somewhat familiar. Mostly looking at used F250 gassers, but diesel may work. 1) Would this type of driving be enough for a diesel? Camping 60-400 miles 5-10 times per year. Maybe once a week or less it will get a 30+ min drive on...

Hello, I have a 2020 Volvo XC60 with 3500 lbs towing capacity and 350 lbs tongue weight. I'm planning to buy an R-Pod 171. My Volvo has a hitch installed from the dealer that folds up when not in use, but only has a 1-1/4" receiver. See it here. Am I going to need any sort of anti-sway on...

Hi yall. we bought a new 2020 coachmen clipper 17bh. we had owned previously a coachmen catalina 26 bh. when towing our new camper it feels pretty busy behind us. we are still using our wdh with friction sway control. when we towed our old camper it always felt solid with no major issues. vut...

Hi all - I just started getting into RVing, and we LOVE it. We've camped at least every other weekend since march. We bought a Jayco SLX 154bh that is super tiny, realized we hate not having a constant dinette and it's super cramped with dogs. We are looking at upgrading to a 2021 Forest...

After searching threads like crazy and a lot of web browsing and YouTube watching I finally located what I believed to be the correct towing mirrors (Ford SuperDuty style ones) to upgrade my 2020 F150 XLT Supercrew Sport with Max Tow (which for unknown reasons still comes with the regular sport...

I have a 2019 Sunseeker 3050s and I was thinking about pulling my 10 x 5 utility trailer with my golf cart on it . Do any of ya'll think that would be a problem? I have added Roadmaster sway bars it handles really good.

Does the air suspension in the rear contribute to the tongue weight ability on our DX3s? I have not heard it charge or raise, but I have heard a release when I was disconnecting a weight reducing hitch I used last weekend. Can you adjust the air ride in the back? I am looking to buy a...

What are your thoughts on this? Curt 51701 BetterWeigh Mobile Bluetooth Towing Scale. Claims it does everything the CAT Scale does? Interesting. Has anyone purchased one? Planning on purchasing one?

After returning from 7 weeks and about 7000 mile trip, looking at upgrading to a Ram 4500 or similar with a 4:10 rear end and 8 spd auto tranny, and a diesel. Is anyone else using this setup or something close? We currently have a ram 3500 w/ 6.7 cummins. Thx in advance

OK I'm a "newbie." On occasion when pulling away from a stop sign or traffic light after a complete stop I hear a noise. Sometimes while coming to a complete stop. It's a thunk! Metal to metal and I think it's in the tow bar/ball I have the correct size ball for the hitch, so says my RV Dealer...

I have a F-150 EcoBoost with max tow and am not new to rv camping; however this is my first venture into doing so with me as the driver (my husband passed in Nov. 2019). I pulled my 2021 Rockwood 2614BS Ultra Lite for the first time and noticed a lot of swaying if I went over about 58 mph. This...

Just leased a new Ram 1500 Laramie, it has the 22” wheels and they are a little more low profile than I would have preferred for towing the travel trailer. Anyone else towing with a similar type of tire? Any concerns? Our trailer is only around 5,000 pounds when loaded if that makes a difference.

I have a 2019 RAM 1500 with a tow package and a max towing capacity of 11,475 lbs. My folks have an empty trailer with a UVW of around 13,000 lbs. It's on heavily forested land in Northern CA in fire county. About 5 miles away is the local fire station and airport. Since I'm he closest one...

So, I've read several posts about the different ratings of tires one can consider on the truck for towing. I purchased a used 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. It came with Hankook Dynapro ATM, size P265/70R17 113T SL. I run these at 35lbs, max is 44. They are in good shape and have many miles left in...

I am about to embark on a trip in my 2020 Isata 3 which will be different from all other trips so far. I will be towing an Aluma, tandem axle trailer (model 7814R) with a Polaris Ranger 570-4 Midsize Crew UTV and two kayaks. I have added a brake controller to the Isata and TPMS sensors to the 4...

Hello everyone, Does anyone have advice on towing my RV that will help with steep hills, etc? I'm not new to camping, but I am new to being responsible for towing, ensuring safety, etc. So, I recently purchased a 2017 Flagstaff 233S hybrid RV, after I purchased my car 2019 Nissan Pathfinder...

Well, this vehicle towing situation is on me -- I didn't read the manual. Now that I have, it says not to tow a car behind the RV with ANY wheels on the ground. That you must have the car on a trailer. No one told me at the dealership or when I had our car and the RV fitted for rear towing at a...

I know it is legal in my state of residence (Tennessee) and I'm wondering if I can safely weld a hitch receiver to the rear and pull a 2-door Jeep Wrangler. I use a y-bar and a 4-pin for lights.

I just did the math and found that I will be towing 5300lbs. My hitch is rated for 5000lbs. Am I taking a big chance? What are my options?

I was going to buy the Nitto all terrain tires b4 I purchased my toy hauler.They are rated XL.(extra load)Are these good for towing or not?Probably lees than 8000 max on loaded trailer.

I have a 8289ws ROCKWOOD I had f150 when I bought RV but then I upgraded to a Ram 2500 Cumins. I think I am running nose high with the bed height difference between the 150 and the 2500. It seems like the camper is not running as smooth as it did before the change. Items that seemed to ride ok...
