s1njin - We discovered the same thing 2 years ago with our first hybrid and didn't feel comfortable with it either. This made the decision to upgrade from a X17Z to the X23B a lot easier.

We had the same combination of a 2009 Honda Pilot AWD and a 2012 X17Z, with a WDH and a friction sway bar. Towed from NJ to Utah with no issues. The "sweet spot" with speed seemed to be around 62...

We had 2012 X17Z that we towed with a 2009 Honda Pilot from NJ to Utah and back. No issues and the combo worked fine, just be careful of the amount of weight you put in it as there isn't much cargo...

Actually, we do keep it under a a portable car port. So it is covered when not in use. We (Allamuchy Joe & I) really like the way the cover keeps the exterior clean. And it is nice not to have to...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't believe that bumper is strong enough to mount anything from it.

Bikester - thanks for the offer to come over and measure the distance on yours. Joe talked me into it, although I admit it didn't take much convincing, LOL. Picked up a 2015 23b this morning....

I'm not an advocate of always going "bigger" with campers, but if you've got the F-150 I'd really take a look at the x19H. This one is the basically the same floorplan as the X17Z, but has a tandem...

We use a load distributing hitch with a sway bar for towing our X17Z. Last year we towed it over 6,000 miles and camped over 50 nights in it with no issues.

We went to the Allentown (PA) show in January as well as the Springfield (MA) show this past weekend - same thing, not many people selling assessories, which was a big disappointment to us.
