Just a random pic of my Tahoe pulling my new toy. Seemed to pull it just fine but I've never towed anything before so it was definitely an experience.

I'll get used to it though.. already planning on taking it on a trip next weekend.

Good looking TT, I'm looking for a 20ish foot featherlite. Yours looks pretty high and top heavy, you might look into an anti-sway system to help make the ride more comfortable.

Thanks man. It is pretty high.... My wife is friends with the people we got it from (and original owners) and I guess wherever they took it to, it would bottom out so they put a 4" lift on the trailer. Kinda weird but they def took care of it.

Unless you need/like it that high, I'd drop it back down. A lot more enjoyable to pull, and won't hurt your mileage so much. I lifted my last camper to be able to get it up a steep hill at my deer lease, lost 1.5mpg on the highway in my 6.0l F250.

Might look into that. I don't have any real reason for it to be that high.... just the way it came.

Thinking about getting rid of my 01 Tahoe .... the 03 Yuk I have should pull it just fine still?

Thinking about taking my wifes 03 Yuk for myself and getting her a newer one...

I'd say for either suv, bring the trailer back down and get an anti-sway kit. Anything to improve the handling of the truck/trailer will make for a safer trip.

I pull a pretty heavy camper with my 5.4l F150, and it feels stable enough, just don't get in a hurry!

I got a nice sway kit already. The people we got it from just threw a bunch of stuff in with it since they were getting away from that big of trailer all together.

Thanks for the advice man. Appreciate it.

This is weird because I was just about to post that My 2004 Denali XL Pulled my 32 foot camper and my 22 foott Pro YarCraft with 2 250HP's outboard motors on the back. The long hills she really had work but other wise I was very pleased how well it performed. The Tranny get got to around 200 and stayed there. Are these babies Beasts. I have to show you of the pics, I was worried if this was legal or not so if I got pulled over I can just act like myself, like a dumb idiot. Past two Sheriffs and they let me drive right by. These are built like a big Block if steel,
