I have the same boat as the OP - 220SD - except with the slightly heavier Bravo 3 - an an aluminum trailer. I have towed it with a 1/2 ton truck and then bought a 3/4 ton Sierra HD diesel. As someone else mentioned, it's not the power to pull it, it's the brakes and mass (weight) to control...
Dennis, this is the best news I've heard in a while - congratulations! We spoke at Peters one morning about a week ago when I picked up my '06 220SD after winterization. You helped me hook up and we discussed a pending acquisition. I wondered if you might be a part of it! Glad to hear that I...
