We have a 24 XL that we bought to tow our 20ft Gulfstream (3200 dry.) I’m actually excited to hear the good reports about your trip. We are setting off on a western US trip from Pa in August for 6 weeks.
I tow a 20ft travel trailer (3800lbs) with our 24 2.3l. It’s a single axle trailer, and consistently swayed a lot, even with a weight distribution hitch. I replaced the stock 255/70/17 Goodyear A/T with the LT255/70/17 KO3 LRD. What a huge difference! The LT planted the truck, and wildly...
