Is anyone towing closer to the 8000-8500 capacity? I am looking at a TT and the shipping weight is about 6000lbs once loaded up I think we would be 7500lbs loaded.
I want to know if you feel towing closer to the max makes you feel confident or prefer to use a 1/2 or a heavy duty at those 8000+ trailers.
trying to talk myself out of just buying a fifth wheel and having to trade cruiser in for a cummins .
Our Cougar is listed at somewhere around 5800 lb.s dry. We pulled it to Dawson City, Yukon and back last summer for a little over 6,000 miles without any issues at all. '08 Cruiser with Firestone air bags. Biggest issue up north is remembering to not drive past a gas station because the next one is 300 Km's away. With 200,000 miles on the odometer (who came up with that word?) we decided that this year we decided that a new to us '14 LX was prudent and we are headed to Inuvik NWT because I've never been inside the Arctic Circle. I know the LX is supposed to have sway control but I don't know how to test it so I guess I hope to never need it. I don't remember what you're driving but a good brake controller and air bags and a Cruiser is good to go.
