We have a 35' Newmar Scotsdale with the 8.1 litre gas V-8 motor. Should this toad pull okay behind our RV? Do I have enough power? I am used to pulling a Jeep Wrangler - now for sale. MANY THANKS for any comments..............Harlan in MN YC 1 • View posts Yuba City Calif.

Nice thing is you can push a couple of buttons, put it in park, release the parking brake, take the keys out and tow away.

I can say one thing, having a mid-size pickup for a toad is AWESOME! Best move we ever made was getting rid of our Jeep.

Recently took this setup to the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, and Banff with no problems towing through the mountains.

Very easy to hookup & tows great. Much more comfortable than our previous jeep. We also use a brake buddy.
