What are you towing and hauling?
Just curious what people are using as tow vehicles and what Jayco's they are hauling. I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab with 4x4. I upgraded the exhaust to a 3" cat-back system and installed a k&n cold air intake. I use a weight distribution hitch and I am towing a Jayco 31DSLB. 34'11'', 62500 lbs dry.
I like the set up I have, everything sits level while towing, and the truck does really well while under load.
Would love to hear what other people are doing out there on the road!

Jay Feather X213 (about 5000 lbs loaded) with a 2003 Expedition, 5.4 with towing package.
I'd give the Expedition 10/10 for stability with this trailer but only 6/10 for power. Solid as a rock but engine works real hard on steep BC hwys.

What are you towing and hauling?
Pulling an '07 jay flight 25RKS with a 2009 Tahoe with a 6.2L, 3:42 rear end with full tow package with integrated brake controller. Seems to pull OK in tow/haul mode as long as I can keep gas in the tank. Getting about 8.5 mpg pulling at 60 to 63 mph.
Dennis.

Towing and Hauling
I am pulling a 2013 Jay Flight Swift 264BH with a 2010 Chevy Silverado LT 1500 4X4, extended cab with 5.3L and 4.2. I have the Equalizer weight distribution hitch with sway control. I added the Banks Power Ram Air Intake and 4" cat back Monster Exhaust. I have only made a couple of short trips so far but it pulls well.

Towing a 2012 26BH with a 2013 Tundra 5.7L, auto, 4.30 gears and is hitched by a Propride 3P. Brakes controlled by a Tekonsha Prodigy. Tows like a dream with absolutely NO sway and fully loaded with water and firewood, I still get 9 mpg at 62 - 65 mph with jack rabbit starts!

What brand of airbags did you go with? I was thinking about adding this, very mixed opinions and reviews out there! Very cool though!
