Who else tows with a Power Wagon

Just curious if anyone on here tows with a Power Wagon specifically. As you may know the PW has much softer suspension than the traditional 2500 and was curious what your setups were for weight distribution. I recently switched from the E2 to Andersen and it's absolutely amazing the difference between them. Have you had any issues either?

I remember a guy on here a while back that bought a new Power Wagon to tow with. He already had a trailer and just always loved and wanted the PW so that's what he chose. I don't recall any issues - obviously not the best choice for towing but it's still a truck with sweet gearing.

My buddy here in PA has a Powerwagon and pulls his Toy Hauler with it. He absolutely loves it.

I've done two small trips (less than 500 miles total) with my setup so far and will be doing a 4k mile round trip here in late June, wanted to see if anyone else had any issues, wanted to be prepared. I can't complain so far other than the fact I will get around 200 miles on a tank while towing. Also mine is a bit modified with larger tires. The Andersen was a game changer to up the ride quality.

Just came back from Lake George, NY about a 500-600 mile round trip with the tt. The power wagon absolutely pulled it great. Averaged about 9.3 miles per gallon.Click image for larger version

Very nice! We are on our large annual trip now and it's done great other than not shifting when I want it to. Cant seem to get it to stay in 5th too long unless I go 60 or less or 75 and up... ugh... took a toll on gas mileage but it handles it great other than that.
