JRTJH,
What 7+ PAX TV would you consider to be a good TV for a 35'+ trailer?
What is everyone's thoughts on Ford's 6.0L-V8 (diesel), Excursion (circa 2005)? I'm thinking about trading in my Sequoia on one of these? I should be able to get a 1:1 trade for a ~100k miles Excursion.
From my limited knowledge of towing and such, it appears I could tow the Sprinter 316BIK with the Excursion fairly well. However I'm still learning everything. From what I can glean online the Excursion has:
137.1" Wheelbase with a GVWR of 9,200lbs. Should be able to tow 11klbs +/- with it.
Adding a Hensley or Propride WDH to the sucker and a decent trailer brake setup would this work? (what about the Equal-I-zer hitch, those any good?):
Sprinter 316BIK:
GVWR: 11,175 / 1,564 hitch (given the 14% of GVWR for hitch weight rule)
35.8' OAL.
Lastly... Exactly what are the dangers of towing too much trailer for a given vehicle?
Thanks Guys!
Doug
