just got her home

[grubby]

we just got our first tt home and im happy with the way everything went, we got a 2015 passport 2890rl and is only 5380lbs dry so it makes it easy to pull with my 14 f150 that i did not want to trade in, we got a huskey wd hitch, witch ill never belive they work but they do.
as i pulled it home i went on 4lanes and 2 lane back roads and it did fine pulling and stoping. you could tell it was there but not as bad as what most of the people were saying it was going to be. mostly the desiel moter heads that think there the only thing you can tow with. but anyway im happy with what we got and cant wait till we are able to go camping in it our first time

congrats and welcome!

I have a husky wd setup too and has worked fine for years. Like with all wd systems just make sure it is setup correctly.

Hopefully you can get to camping soon!

Best of luck.

Congratulations on your new RV! I don't know what powertrain you have but I'm sure it will pull your trailer just fine. I pulled my 2014 319rls rated at 8000lb dry with my 2012 Ram 1500 hemi and it did just fine - I did install Air Lift 1000 air bags - and I did upgrade to a 2014 Ram 2500 4x4 simply because I was at the limit on my payloads. You should be OK-go have some fun!!

I have a 2890RL and I hope you have better luck with that 1/2 ton than I did with mine.

With the exception of a leaking black tank the trailer has been fine.

I too thought my '11 F-150 handled the trailer well on its first tow from the dealer. However, once we loaded the trailer with our stuff it was another story. I won't bore you with the details but there are a couple of threads were I expounded on the problems of towing the 2890RL with my particular F150 and all of the things I tried to unsuccessfully fix the problem..

If it's the Eco boost engine I have never been more impressed with a has engine in my life. I have a 13 and it will pull whatever. Only issue I had were the horrible hankook tires that can on it. Once those were changed it became a different animal. It's too small to pull the raptor but it tows my 24 enclosed car trailer nicely

Glad you are happy with the setup. As for the diesel motor heads comment. I remember a conversation with my dad a few years back when I had my 2500 GMC with the 6.0 gas. I told him I'd never pay the kind of money they get for the new diesels. Well that was before I towed with one. The only thing I can say is that I didn't know what I was missing. I just wish the cost of diesel would go down. Wasn't that long ago that diesel was cheaper than gas. Now the popularity of the diesel trucks has pushed the price up to where I'm almost tempted to go back.........almost
