Friends tow a 6200 pound dry TT with a 2018 Armada. Tows very well once WDH is adjusted. Yes, you may be slightly over GVWR/payload with a larger family, but it can tow well.
If you are looking at saving money, check out Nissan's NV3500. 2WD only and not as high end features available, but very good values, lots of payload, and same strong engine/trans as Armada.
WoW!! Your awesome. I looked at the NV200 a while ago as a camper van. Had no idea the NV3500 beast excited. That is a great idea. I appreciate the advice everyone. I ha e read alot but experience is a big factor so thanks! Anyone have any of the brands or models for the TTs I listed? You like them?
I have a 2014 Bullet 285RLS ( Rear Living /slide). It has a dry weight of 5650 and a tongue weight of 560 empty. I pull it with a 2013 Expedition XLT. It pulls it very well with plenty of power and very little sway.with an E2 WD hitch. Have owned it for 4 seasons and cannot say enough about the quality! It may be an Ultralite but have had no issues with any component! It has a 30' box with plenty of room and a 13 ft superslide! Only issue was a cracked plastic fender skirt that was easily replaced. Bullet is a higher quality and amenity model of Keystone trailers. I have never seen a negative review of Bullets even though there are numerous negative Keystone TT reviews of some other models.
Highly recommend a Bullet for a lot of room with minimum weight.
Yeah the bullet is very nice. We saw a one at a dealer and the quality was superior to some of the other brands out there. A trailer I did not list but also like is the Forest River Cherokee Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L. I am not a huge fan of all wood framing. I have read a couple horrer stories. Heard good things too. That's the main reason it's at the bottom of my list. As for my TV I am convinced it will be a Nissan Titan DX gas. I should have more than enough capacity to tow anything I am interested in. Also found some good deals on them 2017 25,000 miles for around 26,000 dollars. Prices vary but that's a good range for what I found.
