What's this?

Went with LX 570. So I have the same engine but not the same wheel base


Pulling 4400 pounds loaded (verified by truck scale). Pop up so I avoid a lot of the wind issues. 3 trips with a Tahoe pulling the camper have been successful using a weight distribution hitch with sway control. Lx has a 3.8 inch smaller wheel base than the Tahoe, but we are crossing our fingers all will be okay. As an aside, Lx has a much stronger engine. (383 vs 315 hp) which will be nice on mountains. But of course the real concern is sway.

I actually abide by the cars towing trailer speed limits so no crazy driving from me. Yes, i am That Guy on 81 that backs up traffic. Sorry. I'll try not to travel by Blacksburg on a football game weekend.
