3.21 gears. I wouldn't tow much more than 6500 even if it had the 3.92's just due to suspension on 1500's. I looked at the Grand Design Imagine and did not get the hype. They have a contemporary style cabinet design and they are pressed wood with vinyl fake wood overlay. I can say that the Freedom Express and Vibes had a higher quality feeling cabinet. I know the Freedom Expresses are pocket screwed. I found out the Twilight cabinetry was stapled. After sitting the the horrible dinette and seeing that, I unchecked another one.
I'm trying to stay in a TT that has a 6000# UVW or so. I of course will be using WD. I have a Husky on our Vintage Cruiser that seems to work ok. I had an Equalizer on our last trailer years ago. I was told those WD hitches are now going on back order along with many other accessories.
I'm making sure to get a TT with a factory installed ladder so I can recaulk and wash the roof myself. I'm not paying the $400-800 I've been quoted. That is absolutely hilarious.
I do wish there were more of them using the Dexter Torflex axles, seems very few do.
The 2020 Grand Design Solitude we dumped because of its never ending issue had cabinetry just as you describe. The drawer fronts and door were solid wood, but every thing else was mdf board wrapped in a vinyl, and the Solitude is Grand Designs top of the line offering. The cabinets are so strong and attached so well that once when we pulled into a campground the microwave and its cabinet decided to drop to the floor taking 2 of the dinette chairs with it. Junk.
