New fusion420 or new XLR 420?
Hi all, I'm a newbie and I've narrowed my search down to a new Fusion 420 or new XLR 420 and would like any constructive advise from how good the warranty service is from each company to pros and ...

#taken,
Please let me know what you find out about the pin and dry weight of the XLR.
OK, here are the dry weights on a production XLR 420. They are before you add any options, install battery(s), and fill propane tanks.
Hitch-2537#, Ship-14657#, GVWR-21000#.
So, figure the pin loaded and ready for travel will be under 2900#. This is no issue for any SRW 350/3500. Also remember that the pin goes down the more you load the garage. Not a lot, but some. The only thing you will be over on is GCWR. Oh, and another great option on the XLR, especially for us SRW guys, is the Tuson Sway Control. It has the ability to pulse the trailer brakes on one side or the other to eliminate sway. With the lighter pin weight, this really helps keep the trailer in line with the truck. I've already towed ours over 3k miles this year and it's like an arrow behind my little SRW truck.
So, good "guess" on my part about the GCWR being 21,000#?..a GCWR that is 1000# higher than mine. His pin weight will easily hit 3,000# at the least...Guess I like the extra buffer I've given myself in going with the dually/4.10...I won't even go over my truck's GVWR...WELL under my trucks RAWR,and extremely under my truck's GCWR...gives me "peace of mind" towing on mountainous curvy roads and the stability of the dually makes it well worth it....safety is key in my equation on towing.
