By no means would I be considered "experienced" but, in August 2013, I bought an Aliner Scout (a stripped down version of the Aliners) and towed it with a 4cyl GMC Terrain, rated at 1,500lbs towing capacity. Surprisingly, it towed it well, until I hit a grade, and then it towed it, but it struggled a bit. I, then, purchased a 2013 Toyota Tacoma the following month and it towed it to the point that I "didn't know it was back there".
In February 2016 I replaced the Scout with a 2016 Aliner Expedition and drove 1k miles out to get it and, initially, returned the 1k miles with the Tacoma and camper in OD and, quickly, switched to drive, and drove the remainder of the 950 miles in drive. Felt like it wasn't back there.
What I've noticed over the past few years in perusing the internet forums is that so many people inquire about how much they can tow at maximum weight. My suggestion to anyone who questions "how much weight can I tow"......is to be satisfied with how much weight you can tow, COMFORTABLY, not how much weight your tow vehicle is rated to tow.
