At 63 ft long I love truck stops...this with the old truck. Was a tiny bit over weight, although I pulled it 20k miles without issue.
Upgraded to a dually. I hate it because it is an automatic. I am a manual guy it turns out. SO I ordered a new 16 ram 3500 with a manual trans that should be here end of the month. Pics as soon as it gets here. New truck is WHITE too.

Nice! My wife and I just bought a wildwood too. Is that the 27rkss? I pull mine with a 2012 grand Cherokee with a Hemi. Power is no problem, just probably a little short on wheelbase. My blue Ox WDH is the key.

This was when we just got home from the dealer. We are looking at getting a better tow vehicle for the upcoming camping season, we are within weight with the jeep but that's about all. The box pulling a bigger box is not ideal in the least.

It's a 28DBUD. like you, power isn't an issue, but I too could probably do with a heavier truck with longer wheel base. It works though.

Yep, same here. I haven't driven it more than about 15 miles on the highway at highway speeds, and while there was a little bit of movement, not even real sway, here and there, nothing bad. Will be interesting when we go on a long haul and try to climb the Jellico Mountains on the way to Gatlinburg TN from Cincinnati.

We can relate! Been pulling a R177 Rpod for a couple of years with our 2013 JKU rubicon. Logged close to 20K miles with that setup.
We just upgraded to a 2016 R179 Rpod. Haven't noticed much difference in performance with the heavier unit.
Sometimes, we'd like to have a more powerful TV, but love having the Rubicon to get around where we go.
