Hi, thank you very much for the quick responses, we appreciate it. I have a armada platinum that has a tow capacity of 9000 lbs.The dealer said the M29 is about 7000 loaded. If I get Weight distribution system I should be good right, does the trailer length matter? Any recommendations on weight distribution systems? Thanks again.
Just because the numbers might say it is OK . . . that is not always true.
When we bought our first TT (1978 Coachman) I had a huge 1-ton Dodge B350 Van to pull it . . . what a beast it was!
A few months after we bought the trailer, I was rear ended while sitting at a stop light and the van was totalled (the Ford F150 4x4 that hit me was in even worse shape, as was the Toyota Forerunner that was in front of me).
I loved that van . . . it doesn't look that bad, but the drive shaft was pushed through the bell housing, which is the main reason why it was totalled.
The next day I went shopping for a new truck and I narrowed it down to a Dodge Durango (my first choice) and a Dodge Ram 1500 4x4, both having the same tow ratings.
While test driving the Durango we drove it over to the house and backed it up to our trailer, and the minute I saw that Durango in front of the trailer I knew it was way too small for our largish 26-foot travel trailer.
Even though it (the Durango) was rated to handle our trailer . . . there was no way I was going to pull it with that small SUV . . . period!
Took it back and made the deal for the Dodge Ram, which turned out to be my most favorite vehicle I've ever owned in my life!
Wish I still had it, however, now it is living the good life in Rochester, New York!
