Hello from Idaho!
Hi All, I just purchased a 2010 forest river rockwood freedom 282txr! It is the first trailer my wife and I have owned and we are excited to go on some adventures. I went with the txr for the front deck, we have 2 ATV's and this will allow us to take our toys with us.
I am a little concerned though. I have a Ford F-150 that is plenty capable of towing the trailer, loaded with the ATV's. This was the vehicle I was planning on using. However my wife, wants to be able to tow it with our Tahoe, she says it would be more comfortable and allow more room for the kids. It is a 2015 with the 5.3 V8, but the 3.08 gearing. It has a 6600 pound tow limit.
Any suggestions where I should look to figure out if I can tow it loaded with my ATV's(about 1400 pounds for both of them) and what I may need to add to my Tahoe to to make it safe? I have a feeling that loaded with the ATV's the tongue weight might be a bit too high.
Thanks in advance guys!
