Re: Excursion as tow vehicle?
I've got about 1,800 lbs of payload on the X. The plan is to put the 8 of us in the X along with snacks and light things like pillows and blankets, etc. Everything else will be distributed in the TT. Also, our WD hitch should help quite a bit. And since our TT will be 7,500 lbs at the Max, I would think the X could handle it well anywhere. What do you think?846Views0likes0CommentsExcursion as tow vehicle?
We have a Jayco 287 TT. About 32 feet in length (tongue to bumper) and dry weight of 6,200. At most it will be 7,500 loaded. Looking at a 2000 Excursion for sale today as TV. It has the v10, less than 100,000 miles. We are a family of 8, 6 children under age 13. We generally pack light. The Excursion can tow a lot. Will it handle our TT well cross country? Through mountains? If we buy it, I will install a brake controller and I already have a WD hitch. Anything else I might need or will this combo be good? Will our TT sag the X at all? All advice welcome.5.5KViews0likes19Comments
