Our Rig : We have a 2017 Mercedes Benz 3500 chassis with 6 cylinder diesel engine. It is setup with a receiver hitch with electric plug for tow vehicle lights. Being new to this I guess I am asking for a little advice but have heard that blue ox is the easiest and most reliable method of setting up. Thanks for any help in advance.
Well Ladder187, I answered your question in an earlier post. I did not scan for new posts first. For the benefit of those who may not read my earlier reply I will reiterate (and add a bit). We use Blue Ox with a Brake Buddy towing our Wrangler. We have noticed that the most popular towed vehicles are Honda CR Vs and Jeep products. We tow with a Ford Chassis V10 and do not feel the Jeep when towing. We are now using our third Motorhome and have been towing from the beginning. First Motorhome was GMC powered small block 400 cid towing a standard 4X4 S15 Jimmy. It wa a P I T A! We had a fixed tow bar and I had to disconnect the rear drive shaft. Next was a C Class with a Ford V10 towing a Jeep XJ. We still used a fixed tow bar but no messing with drive shafts. Then got a Jeep TJ (Wrangler) and Blue Ox. So easy to set up and disconnect. We now have small Ford powered V10 Class A and a Wrangler JK. We can be hooked up in less than two. The Wranglers and CR Vs are light and versatile. I think the CR V has a max speed limit when towed. The Jeep does not. No matter what you decide to go with please make sure you have a brake system that will stop the towed if it breaks away. Safe travels Darrell and Jerry
Thanks for the info. We looked at a Chevy Equinox today and the trade in prices are very low. Hopefully their minds will be more generous on Monday.
Were starting to close in on retirement, as for us 10 months ago we traded in DW's honda fit, as we bought a low mileage certified pre owned 2014 Honda CRV. We bought the CRV for 2 reasons, 1st DW hated her Honda Fit, 2nd we also have options to tow 4 down, but we shall see on that. Mike
