Hello all! Like many of you I’m getting ready for camping season. Upon opening my Keystone 2020 bullet 273bhs up I noticed the slide and landing gear weren’t working. I’ve spent the past few days with an RV tech trying to figure out why they wouldn’t my It looks like we finally figured it out...

Like the time I persuaded him to give me his butterbeer? Cause that’s about what it would be to make him trade the Ranger hahah. In all seriousness we had already planned on trading my car in due to a mechanical issue and Volvo wanting to much money to fix it so it’s not that big of a deal...

Hahaha. I think my saying that the Ranger towed it somewhat capably set off some triggers in folks. We are very aware it’s not the proper vehicle for it but we didn’t want to lose this model as they sell fast. Our goal was to just get the thing home and upgrade my vehicle. Based off the research...

I planned on trading my car in anyway so it’s not a big deal. I just want to see what options are outside of a truck. My husband is military and constantly being sent to training so without this tt I wouldn’t be able to go with him. It’s also being used for his squad when they’re out in the...

I should add that we were already planning on trading in my XC90 so thats no issue. I want to avoid a truck as I still need to use my vehicle for work and need something that looks pretty parked at the country club. There are some super nice trucks but this is still Boca and they have rules...

We are def not that guy haha. I was actually impressed with how evenly the Ranger towed her as I did not want to have a situation like the guy above. But again long term the Ranger is too small for to tow it. Correct which is why we are keeping payload to a minimum until we solve this issue. No...

Thank you this is very helpful to visualize. And it seems that the trailer length is encroaching on the full truck size yet still a possibility with the RIGHT SUV.

We are still 1,000 below the Rangers capacity of 7500 and keep payloads light with no signs of stress on the truck but I agree it’s not meant for long haul. I wouldn’t go beyond an occasional 5-6 hour trip hence the search for another capable vehicle. And our average speed is 50-55mph when...

Eventually I’d like to. That being said, my family lives in the Adirondacks in New York, they’re not as deep as the Rockies but it’s something to consider.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking into the Tahoe. Suburban is just a bit much as far as size goes. We live in a city so we have to consider being able to park it when not traveling. Another thing I should’ve mentioned is I really want some thing with a 360 cam my Volvo has it and it’s a game...

Whats the best SUV to tow a 2020 Keystone Bullet 273BHS that weighs apprx 5500 dry (6600 with WDH) and 31ft long? I plan on trading in my Volvo XC 90 and I really don’t want a truck. We are currently towing it with my husband’s 4cyl 2020 super crew 4x4 Ford Ranger (pics below). I know, I know...
