I tow a 2017 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH with a 2013 Ford Expedition EL. The dry weight of the trailer came in at 6204 lbs. It took me a couple of trips and a trip to the CAT scales to get the WDH dialed in but once I did I feel completely comfortable towing the trailer. In fact, I just got back yesterday from a trip up into the Smokey Mountains and it had no problems pulling it up the mountain running 55mph and on the way back home yesterday I was in rain (sometimes heavy) for the first 180 miles, including back down the mountain. When I'm towing I usually run around 60mph, except in the rain and when a tractor trailer or big box truck passes I slow down to 50mph and its fine. I do plan to upgrade to 'E' load tires in the near future. I know a 3/4 ton truck would probably do better but considering a I have wife, 2 kids, and 2 dogs, a full SUV is what I have to have.
This X2. My TT is about the same size and it took a few trips, but now that I have the WDH dialed in I have no issues. I set my cruise control at 63 unless it is a hilly area. I had no problems through the smokies either.
