Towing 24ft Enclosed Car Trailer

[vanovafan]

I hooked up a 24ft Enclosed Car trailer (3750 lbs) to my new 2019 22M E-450 and could not believe how easy it was to tow the trailer. It was if it was not even back there. Seriously. I Need to put a car inside to get the full effect, but I don't expect there to be any issues. I towed the same trailer with an F-350 Power Stroke Dually and I noticed very little difference or advantage between either vehicle. I bought the 22M E-450 for this very purpose. Just didn't know how it would turn out until I actually towed the trailer. I am thoroughly impressed. Just thought I would share in case anyone else was wondering what they could actually pull. The Short wheelbase of the 22M is killer when backing the trailer up. It was real easy. Wide mirrors made it very easy to track where the trailer was going. In this sense, it is much better than the F-350. Also, I could not believe how little the RV squatted when I put the weight of the trailer on the hitch. Barely moved. Maybe and inch or two.

Life got a little busy this year, and I have yet to tow my 19' boat with my 22M. I have the hitch and connectors all set, but I only towed with my F-350 Crew this year. Hopefully, next season I'll make that lake trip. Glad to hear your towing experience went well.

Update. After pulling empty 24ft car trailer for an hour or so I decided I needed a an equalizer hitch. Found a campers world 2 hours from home on my way to Chicago.
Installed the hitch in the parking lot, set the trailer ride height, and away I went. Made a big difference. Got to Chicago and loaded my car and it pulled great with very little sway. All is good.
