Surprise! I've got a question lol!

Hello!!

So, the dh and I (note I'm the dw here lol!) have been trying to decide on our very first ever rv. We've looked a SO many different rv's just about every type but travel trailers. We recently stumbled upon the Georgetown XL and are headed out tomorrow to look at one at a local dealer.

So here is my first question; is the Georgetown XL 378ts able to easily tow a Jeep Wrangler 2012 Saraha JK?

Dh said he might be worried that it would 'struggle' some. Any help would be wonderous!

Thanks!
Angie

We have the 2014 GT XL378 and we tow a Jeep Wrangler 2011 Sarah with no problem. We have had Our GT since February and we love it, we have had little to know problems with it, the only ones that we have had have been minor ones.

We got our first MH in 2010, purchased a Berkshire and now have 38k miles and still traveling around 6 months out of the year. Get your last MH first.

We have a 2012 378xl and tow our 2012 Chevy cruze without any issues. They say the hitch is rated for 5000 lbs. as long as the jeep doesn't weigh more than that you should have no worries. Been full timing for 5 yrs and love it. Average fuel mileage towing is 7.25 and without towing I average 8 mph. We love the motor home and as most individuals we have had minor problems but nothing major and FR has excellent Customer Service. IMO

I to love passing dps up long grades. Seriously, the Ford v-10 is a serious contender. Pulls my Ford Escape like a champ. 37,000 towing miles and no serious problems.
