We are looking at starting the adventure of having a travel trailer!!!! Our plan is to start with the tow vehicle. We are expecting to purchase a TT that is around 23ft. We would like to get a SUV to be our tow vehicle and was wondering if anyone has advice of pros and cons they have encountered. We are looking into the Ford expedition, jeep Cherokee and dodge Durango. We will need to purchase used 2008-2011. Any help would be appreciated!!!
We started camping in a TT with a 19 ft fleetwood towing it with a Jeep Cherokee. It was not a good experience. I tried wider wheels and tires, having the rear suspension reworked and yes we were using a weight distributing hitch. It was still a very uncomfortable combo. All we did was switch to a F150 SuperCrew using the same camper, hitch, etc and it was a world of difference. I think it was the longer wheel base that made the huge improvement in towing comfort. Moral of the story is don't get a TV with too short of a wheel base. Happy trails.....
