I tow a 2017 KZ Sportsmen classic 180bh with a 2006 Kia Sedona EX. You will need a WD hitch, an external transmission cooler and brake controller. I added the E2 WD hitch with built-in sway control. I also added the largest transmission cooler that would fit in my car. The transmission shop also put in an additive to keep my transmission fluid cool. I would have to look up the name of the additive. Also, I had Timbren suspension mounted to the rear. My minivan pulls the travel trailer effortlessly. My gas mileage dropped from 21mpg to 18mpg when pulling the trailer. The dry weight of my trailer upon delivery was 2700 lbs. I upgraded to a larger fridge and a 13,500 BTU ac. I strongly recommend that you do a test tow with your vehicle before you purchase a travel trailer. Be sure and test tow one that weighs several hundred pounds more than the one you plan to purchase. This will be what yours will weigh after you add all your supplies to your trailer. Hope this helps and good luck.
Very rich information - - - THANKS!
I think I will have to survey the newer WD hitches to see what's different. My old EZ was clumsy, dirty, noisy and I can't for the life of me see how to use it without getting dirty, and potentially breaking a toe if you drop one of those lift bars. I really hated it. Not to mention that I had to jack my 'burb like 6 feet high with the power lift just to get the bars in place. Things MUST be better now?
