Still kicking trailer tires. Looking forward to this weekend to have a closer look at the Grand Design 2800BH.

So I looked up my truck on the ETIS page and am not sure what to think. I still have my window sicker that says it has the 3.55 rear but the ETIS says 3.31. It also shows w/ HD Trailer Towing and Less fuel economy pack. Some other discrepancies were noted as well but not really relevant to this discussion.

When I said advertised @10.2K I now realize that is simply Ford Marketing and practically useless information. I am still looking at the same group of trailers but have opened to the slightly smaller and slightly lighter GD 2400BH.

Again, any opinions or critiques of any of the bunkhouse models I have listed, please feel free to share.

-Thanks

Mike, what is your TV for your GD? How does it pull?

Maybe the dealer added the 3.55 gears but not sure if that's common or not. One thing you can do is look on the door sticker on the drivers side. It will either be on the door or on the pillar. You should see the word AXLE and below it a 2 digit code which will tell you your rear axle ratio. 15 is 3.15, 27 is 3.31, 19 is 3.55 and 26 is 3.73. Follow this link to Ford's 2015 F-150 towing guide.

We tow our Grand Design with a 2013 Expedition EL. It has 5.4 V8 with 3.73 rear axle. To me it tows fine. No issues accelerating and braking and I can drive comfortably on the highway running 60. Feel it a little bit when big trucks pass by but the Blue Ox Sway Pro WDH does a great job keeping things in line. I haven't been to the mountains yet but there are other Expedition owners that tow heavier setups without issues through hilly terrains. I used the same towing guide I sent you but for the Expedition to better understand what I was working with.
