I'm glad to hear there are a number towing with the NV. I've been trying to find comments on some of the more popular RV forums, but it looks like most RVr's aren't exactly van people. But it's good to know from them that if I dare to put an 8,000 pound trailer on the back of my van I'm trying to kill my family and everyone around me. Looks like I need a Peterbilt to tow anything over 4,500 pounds . . . ;) I've got a 2014 Passenger SL that I bought new. It's been a fantastic vehicle in the few years I've had it - it was fun hauling myself and 11 Boy Scouts and their gear 500 miles to summer camp a couple months ago. Now my family of six is looking to get a quad bunkhouse model TT, and all of the quad bunks are of the larger variety. We're looking at a trailer with a dry weight of 7,200 (the actual trailer with options, not generic dealer stats), so when it's loaded it is likely to be close, but not over the rated 8,700 tow rating. We travel light (as much as a family of six can), and I plan on taking out the last row of seats in the van and keeping things pretty light in there as well. For those that are towing trailers over 30', how is the experience? Better or worse than a one ton pickup? Any issues with tranny temps? Using the gears to help slow down on hills cause any trouble? Where did you put your brake controller? I'm planning on a Prodigy P2, and it looks like the slot under the radio makes the most sense but will it need to be too far out and block the AC controls? Thanks!
