Towing with View Profile
I am considering a Winni View Profile (24G). Will I have a problem towing a Polaris Ranger and trailer up some serious western highways. My guess would be 1100# for Ranger and 900# for trailer. 2,000#...

I would question the statement above: "Diesels are notorious for having nearly the same performance, loaded or not."

On pages 6 and 7 are the performance numbers/HP requirements for different weight vehicles. You will find that on flat ground, HP demand is much more related to aerodynamic drag. But on grades, weight becomes the overwhelming factor. While the View's Gross Combined Weight is less than the coach examples, the same physics principles apply.
