Just ordered a 2016 Venture Sporttrek 327VIK

I just ordered a Venture Sporttrek 327VIK as was just wondering if anyone has any reviews or comments for this year's model? Also in the market for a new tow vehicle, any suggestions about the size, type of the tow vehicle? Lastly recommendation for type of weight distribution hitch?

    Wow - that's a 37 ft TT! Take IdaD's advice... I myself am starting to feel the need for a diesel...

    Thank you for the pointers, I had hoped that letting the wife pick the trailer I'd get to pick the truck.

    Wishful thinking huh?

    I'd recommend your favorite flavor of 3/4 or SRW 1 ton for that size trailer, gas or diesel. Gas would certainly be adequate but diesels perform quite a bit better, so that's just a preference thing - either would do fine at that size/weight.

    That's a bit more trailer than I'd want to tow very much with a half ton, both with respect to weight and length.
