32 Mountaineer TT
Have the dbl 2x. The TT is 8250 DRY............on about 9K loaded. Have the Reese dual cam. Have had no issues besides some domestic TV's literally flipping us off as i go up some serious grades in the Allagheny's(sp?) at 60 mph. I do think the length is close but have not had the feeling of ever being pushed by the trailer. A couple of key points:
1. Do not overload the trailer no matter the trailer GVW.
2. Do not overload on payload.
3. Do not think it's a good thing to go 70-75 miles an hour because we can. Stopping at that speed or getting sway started is not fun at lower speeds , imagine flying down the mountain.
The gauges do not even register any additional heat when coming up the mountain. Tows the weight well but gas does suffer big time, which is to be expected.
Interestingly we also looked at an Eagle, nice trailers, we just fell for the bunkhouse slideout in the back left on the mountaineer. One issue you have to consider is the tongue weight ...by the time you add the WDH setup you might as well add 100 pounds + to the noted tongue weiught of that model eagle. That is some heavy tongue weight but may be okay...BUT remember the tongue wgt is taken from payload, thus you are limted on passengers/cargo......even with my 875 tongue/hitch I have to travel bare bones on the truck. Good luck.
