Re: tow rigs
I tow a 27 ft toy hauler with my h2, it weight about 7k dry and with the rzr, atv and other excess I am sure it is around 9k+. I dont tow that much probably less than 300 miles a year or so now. I have 37s and upgraded gears, steel braided brake lines, brake controler and air bags.
I was going back and fourth for a very long time on buying a dually, diesel etc. See what your needs are, how much you will tow, alot of hills etc. You can always buy an older beater 2500 gasser for under 8k (possibly cheaper) and use that as your designated tow vehicle.
I have out grown my trailer and I am considering buying a 40 foot , triple slide and pay the tow company to tow it out to the desert for me vs buying a truck. It is much cheaper this way since I only camp in the desert.
Another point make sure your toy hauler tires are properly inflated, for the first year mine were substantially under inflated and the h2 had a hard time. I inflated them to the proper 65 lbs and I was getting about 9-10 mpg (seriously).
