    any of you guys tow a rpod camper. I am thinking about trading my aframe but dealer refuses to let me do a test tow. The unit only weighs about 100lbs more but I am gaining headwind drag. My truck pulls mine great and don’t want to make a bad decision. Also truck is 2015 with 4cyl 5 speed bilstine lift with 285/75/16.

    Ongoing Process
    I pulled one for a while with my 1st gen 4 banger. It did ok but you have a MT unlike I had and I would say you could wind the gears out to get up to speed better. Had to leave a little extra distance for breaking but it did just fine. It never seemed to get "Squirly" but then again I never pushed it past 65mph. Side note - I made sure the water tanks were empty to reduce the weight.
