. How much does your combined tow weigh? Did you have to reinforce the tow hitch?
The Ford 3 valve V-10 will pull up to 30,000 lbs, my total weight with stacker trailer is 26,500 lbs and I went over the Rockies on I-70 with ease.
However I do have the full Power Pack Banks system and 5 Star Tuning.
26,500 lbs combined weight, motorhome and stacker trailer, yes my hitch and back frame on motorhome has been reinforced, I also have air bags, however I do keep Jeep on trailer towards the back and this keeps my hitch ball weight at 600 lbs. - GjacExplorer III

You are limited to 5000 on hitch. I usually just tow a Smart Car. I love it and easy to tow. Have both 2009 and 2016. The newer Grands are heavier so check. 45-50 mph on 6% grade-easy.

Ed Gee,
Curious, what have you noticed your speed on an incline? We tow a jeep grand cherokee.
Really depends on the grade of the incline. I'd say I do about 40mph on a 6-7 % grade. .... faster on lesser grades. - timmacExplorer

is there anyone out there who owns a Tiffin Allegro 32sa? If so, how is the engine power? I notice that it is on a 24000 lb chassis but has the same engine as the 31sa which is a 22000 lb chassis.
The engine power on my 34TGA 24000 chassis is quite sufficient to tow our 2600 pound Scion up hills. I don't generally do the speed limit though on good grades.
