Thanks!! Had a Keystone Fuzion that we bought in 2014 and traded it in for a Grand Design Solitude that was destroyed during Hurricane Ida. Downsized to a Cougar 25RDS that's plenty big enough for the wife and I. Kids are grown and have their own campers. Sold my dually not thinking we'd get another camper. So now the tow police think I need to get a Kenworth to handle around a 7800 lb. trailer!! My Expedition with the max tow package is rated for 9200 lbs and has a payload of 1769 lbs. Re-adjusted the Equalizer and shifted more weight to the trucks front axle. Like a see-saw game that we had with the toyhauler. I always leave early to get to a campground and keep speed down to the 60-62 mph range. I'm sure you'll get pointers on how to handle your GSD on here also!! Great animals and I've owned a couple over the years myself.
