Wildwood Heritage Glen Lite

I just traded my previous FR TT for the Heritage Glen. We got the T282RK. Anyone out there have one? What do you think of this line? My wife loves the recliners and the bigger bathroom. I like the outside refrigerator and outside grill. I may have to step up in a TV because right now how have a 2015 F150 King Ranch with the Max Tow package but I'm near the tow capacity even though it tows just fine but it sure sits the truck down. When the lease is up on this one I may go F250 or Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi. Right now we are going to try and enjoy what we have.

We have the Salem Hemisphere version. Towed it with an F150 EB and then moved up to my Super Duty. Very nice improvement.

We have the Heritage Glen 282RK as well. We towed it the first year (it's a 2014) with a 2010 Ram 1/2 ton crew cab 5.7 Hemi 3.55 axle. We went out to Az., and found ourselves watching engine & transmission oil temps constantly in the mountains of Az. The truck was okay in the flatlands, but was maxed out in the hills. We bought a Chevy 2500HD (gas) in 2015, and it is now a pleasure towing. Trans temps never go over 195 degrees in the mountains, and it maintains 60 MPH up all grades. (The Ram would only do 45 MPH on the steep grades.) If you ever intend on going bigger, think about a diesel, but the 3/4 ton gasser will be fine for your current TT. Chevy, Ford or Ram would work just fine for the trailer. It's just a matter of personal choice. Hope this helps...
