Towing with an SUV
I know some people tow with Expeditions. I'm wondering about other SUVs. Also, does diesel make a big difference? And finally, is torque more critical than payload capacity and towing weight limits...

We have two heavy batteries and two propane tanks on the hitch. We're hoping that removing one battery and one tank will reduce the weight to an acceptable range, although I don't think it will take off the entire 180# overage.
Removing the battery and 1 propane tank may save you about 80# off the tongue. you're still going to be 100# over. Consider also if you're storing anything at the front of the TT, that adds the weight back to the tongue. If you're already at 780 on the tongue, I don't know how you can easily shed 200#. Be careful what you do though...lightening that tongue too much will be bad for your towing experience...
