Hello all, I am looking to purchase a airstream in the 25 to 30 ft size and want to get the right tow vehicle prior to purchasing the trailor. I am looking at the Nissan Titan with 5.6L gas V8 with the tow pkg. Anyone have any expiernce with this vehicle or recommendations for alternatives? Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks, phil

Anyone have a 8.1 liter in a pickup or suburban? Curious as to your experience, do they use oil like some say, does it run hot? Looking at updating my 01 with a 6.0/3.73 with a 05 8.1/4.10. Thanks for any input...

I need the help of some creative thinkers! I just purchased a 2001 30' S/O. She is big and heavy! The towing part is done with my F350 Crew Cab but the parking part took me 45 minutes because of the angle of my driveway. I live in an area where my home and yard is about 5 feet higher than the street. There is plenty of parking once you get up the driveway but thats the trick. Once i get the ...

First I have never towed anything heavier than a motorcycle trailer. We know what size AS we are going to purchase, a 27 FB Safari SE. Need to purchase a TV, we are open to any truck. After talking to too many sales people and studying the brochure spec sheets on payloads, tow ratings, etc.. I very confused... If a truck has a 1500 lb payload, a 10000LB, towing capacity. and I ...

We are in the process of purchasing an International 27FB, anyone have any experience with an Avalanche as a TV? Thanks

Hi there! I am looking at a 2005 25' safari with empty weight of 5325 lb. My ford explorer can tow 5600 , so I thought I was set, then after researching the forum, looks like a bad idea if I don't want a white knuckle experience. So, I am considering trading up to something that can handle towing better, and my question is: Any recommendations on a vehicle/truck that can easily handle the ...

Hope I'm not bending any forum rules, but received this email from these guys this morning and thought any potential Hensley-wannabes might be able to take advantage of it. We're new to pulling with the Hensley, but so far, we love it. Hensley Mfg. is offering next 200 customers who call and place an order for a new Hensley Arrow $720 off the normal retail price. Call Rick @ Hensley...800...

Hi all, I'm currently pulling a 28 foot Excella and am looking to purchase a new TV. I have seen some great deals lately for new (and used) Dodge Diesels, but I was wonder what would be better for pulling, a Automatic or a Stick? My son is not sold on the Automatic Trannys on the Dodges and is recommending I buy a stick, but I've had sticks my whole life and find the thought of an ...
