Hello everybody,
I have owned two gas powered coaches and one 40 foot toy hauler. I have towed many of trailers over the years of all kinds. Regrettably, I sold my diesel dually and purchased a Jeep thinking that my next RV was going to be a diesel pusher and the Jeep would be my tow vehicle. Plans change and sometimes put on hold.
My wife has a 2018 Tahoe and according to specifications, it will handle up to 8600 lbs. Our Tahoe has the " max tow package ". The engine is a 5.3L V8. 8600 lbs seems to be a lot to handle with this type of vehicle. Yes, I don't have to buy something that heavy but I wish to have another toy hauler to bring the Harley on the road with us. I recognize I might need to re-think all of this but I wanted to get some input from all of you.
If you happen to be towing with a Tahoe or like kind short wheelbase SUV. I would like to know what you are pulling and the pros and cons of such please.
Fire away and thanks in advance!
