Towed the new TT home

I also just brought home a new TT with a similar rig. Brought it home with a 5.3 Sierra 1500. I have 3.73 gears so in Tow mode it would downshift going up the hills.

My regular tow vehicle will be a 5.3 Yukon XL. The only difference will be the blind spots in SWMBO's Yukon and those tiny side mirrors.

I bought some of those strap on extra mirrors. But, the Burb mirrors are so big that the extra ones are rarely needed. I do keep the rpms up but, I try to do so in a manner where the transmission isn't hard shifting. That is, when I feel a shift coming on I back off of the gas pedal for a second to take some of the shock off of the drive train when the gear change hits.

The trailer did not come with a spare so, from the suggestion of someone on this forum I went to Northern Tool and bought the wheel/tire. The stock tire is a radial. The one I bought is a bias ply of the same size. As a tire to get me to the tire store/campground/home I think it will be fine. I'm hoping to not need the spare. I towed an old Prowler all over the place years ago and never needed the spare. Maybe my luck will hold out..LOL..
