GDelage, Bet that lil diesel tows it well and sips fuel towing that Roo. Well its a flat front so assuming you are keeping it to say 65. I drove one with and without a GDE tune and was impressed with the improvements.

APW, Cool long wheelbase van with HD suspension and V-10. Looks like a big heavy trailer but all of it is nice and level bet she tow it well.

The answer to what can my 1/2 ton tow; Generically whatever TT has a GVWR less than TV’s max tow rating. Specifically is found on CAT scale via weight distribution with TV TT & WDH. Best motor & gearing all 5 Mfgs within specs IE safe & stable normally to 8k but passengers & bedload reduce this. RAM 1500 ED max tow 9,200, max axle ratings 3,900, max 09-18 CVWR 15,950, axle weights me & gear 3,240 steer 2,560 drive

New Rig and TV

We purchased the Rig in early 2018 then after pulling with a SRW decided to upgrade the rig to a dually as well. Both are 2018 models. This picture was taken the same day that we picked up the truck while parked at a restaurant half way to our destination spring of 2018. Couldn't be happier with our selections and as of today we still have both of them. I know I should have posted this earlier but just procrastinated way too long.

Just picked up our Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L yesterday! ~5700 pounds empty and it pulled like a dream on the way home. I think this combo is gonna work great for our adventures. Didn't have time to mess with the WDH setup much at the dealer yesterday so I still had a little adjustment work to do when I took this pic (raised the ball 1" and also put a little more pressure on the bars when I got home so both the TV and the trailer sit level now).

Hitch is a Camco Recurve R3 800 lb. tongue weight, 8,000 max TW with WD and sway control.

TV is a 2012 Yukon XL Denali with the 6.2 and a stage 2 towing cam, good for about 460 hp and 450 lb ft of torque. Also has a Tru-cool 40K transmission cooler and Michelin LTX tires. Next stop will be the CAT scales to see where we're at for payload. Should have about 800 lbs. to work with above the tongue weight but we'll see.

Our new 8298KS

We have had it almost 3 weeks now. Thought I'd post it up.
2021 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8298KS. We plan to use it a lot starting very soon. Still setting up the home site parking place right now.
Still moving all our stuff from the last camper in to the new one right now.
I have so many questions for our first 5er and have already posted a few.
