I need a new tow pig. Help.

Just looking at this picture seems terrifying to me from a wheel base perspective.  The Benz looks way to short to control the trailer if things go bad.

Would this be less terrifying with a Sequoia, Expedition, or Tahoe hooked up?


I'm not buying a GL, that's been decided, but the wheelbase is longer than an Expedition or Tahoe and equivalent to a Sequoia.

No it wouldn't.  A Suburban, or Expedition EL would be the bare minimum I'd even start to consider for an enclosed (for reference I traded my Expedition EL in for a Tundra while getting ready to purchase my enclosed trailer).  For an open trailer, any of the above would be fine.

Just get another truck and call it a day. If you can't find a RAM then pick up another F150. Truck's are the best way to tow enclosed trailers. With an open you can get away with SUV's. I'd rather have a smooth sailing tow vs literally constantly adding steering input to correct down a highway... (even with a 1/2 truck and weight distro/sway hitch you can still be correcting a lot on a windy day...)

This is the correct answer
