Mike RP I am interested in hearing more on your unit... I believe the Sunseeker is the same unit as the Forester just under a different name badge.

They added air bags on the rear. Handling is very good now that I've had the front end aligned by an experienced truck shop. All new Sunseekers or Foresters on the Ford chassis has the 7500 lb rating. We are very pleased with the handling.
The Coach has been largely trouble free. I actually love to,drive it and the JGC tows fine even though it is close to 5000 lbs. Actually was able to accelerate up jellico mountain on the way to Knoxville a couple of weeks ago with the Jeep. I was the bags set at 75 lbs towing the Jeep.
