For comparison, I have a 2008 43 ft. Mandalay Presidio, 4 slides, tag. The setup is:
Freightliner XC-R;
Cummins 8.3 ISC, 360 HP, 1050 Torque, EPA'07;
Allison 3000
I'm about 34,000 lbs. fully loaded. I tow a 6400 lb. Chevy Traverse.
I've been through the Ozarks and Smokies so far with no problem. I'm comfortable and satisfied with my setup. I never worried about getting to the top of the hill. I'm not the first to the top but also not the last.
I dont think the traverse weights that much closer to 4900 according to the 2014 dinghy towing guide.
