We questioned how hard it would be on our Saturn Vue to tow the 16BH so we traded up. . . to a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 :) Got some upgrade as well which bumps up to 5.7L Hemi engine and 3.92 axle ratio (I'm not a big car nut but I hear these are good things) haha It has a crew cab so DD will have plenty of room to grow (the quad cab was somewhat cramped even for a 3 year old) So we should probably get it by the end of the week, in time for our maiden voyage!! And now we don't have to watch our weight anymore since it can tow 10,000#

Just as a reminder…….Weight limitation on TT axle is a given.

You're right John, guess I'll have to leave the kitchen sink at home :D We actually plan on putting a lot of stuff in the bed of the truck.
