Anyone pull a 14k 5er with a gas engine
If so what are your thoughts? Do you wish you had a diesel? What is your average towing MPG?

Thanks for all the replies. We plan on getting a 5er in 3 or 4 years when I retire and plan on a new diesel tow vehicle. I have access to a company vehicle with a gas engine and was thinking about going ahead and getting the 5er now and pulling with the company vehicle until I retire. I don't want to buy the diesel until I retire so it will have full warranty when we start traveling a lot more.
The trailer you can tow now with a gas engine truck, may not be the one you want for retirement. Also note that many snowbird or other resorts have 10 year age limits on RVs that they sometimes enforce.
You might be better off with a small used trailer in the interim period. That will help you figure out what you want for a retirement trailer.
Remember to look at trailers with the slides both in and out. In you want to look at refrig and bathroom access. Chris
