Title: Tow Vehicle problem solved
Post by: cl21bhs on September 09, 2014, 10:45:10 PM
I got rid of the Ford Explorer and got a 2015 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L V-8 4x4 with max tow package, rated to tow 8,300 lbs. This should be the dream TV, once I am at 500 miles I will take the 21bhs out for a test pull and report back.

My 21bhs loaded weights 4,200 lbs about half of the rated capacity, which is nice.
