  1. Off Roading Tips, Tricks & Questions
    2019 owner, and am curious about recovery straps / setup for an ascent. Based on a 7 K weight ( 6K plus 1K cargo) , does anyone one have any recommendations for brands or styles of recovery straps, and why?

    Hi all, I’m hoping that you guys can instill some confidence in me that my 2020 Ascent Premium can tow our 2023 Jayce Jayflight 154BH long distances and up and down California mountains like to Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes, Tahoe, etc. The trailer weighs 2,998 lbs dry with a capacity of 650 more...

    Hi, newbie here. This might have been addressed in other threads, but I didn't see anything current. I've just acquired a 2021 Ascent Base which I am trying to trick out so that it will do what my pickup used to do: tow a small cargo trailer and a small camper/trailer (currently a popup...

    I have read the max towing weight is 5,000 for any trim above Base, but trailer brakes are required for anything over 1,000. I intend to tow a 6x10 enclosed cargo trailer (approx 2k lbs incl. cargo). Aside from additional wear on my brakes, should I expect any other problems with towing...

    Hey all - Sorry if this is a duplicate post but I did my research and couldn't find a similar question as this one. I am a complete newbie to camping and recently decided to rent a travel trailer. I already have a Draw-tite hitch receiver with a tongue weight of 750lbs. I ordered it from...

    Hey everyone, I’m currently living in FL and plan on purchasing a Wolf Pup 16BHS and tow it with my 2021 Ascent Limited. My first destination with my wife/kids is to go to NY. I want to make sure I do this safety and correctly. I have an appointment with Subaru to get the trailer hitch...

    My family and I recently purchased our first travel trailer - a used Safari Condo Alto F1743 Alto F1743 Travel Trailers | Safari Condo We're super exicted to take ownership of our trailer this spring and to head out on some adventures. Before we do though, we need to purchase a tow vehicle and...

    I have a 2021 Ascent Limited and my camper weighs about 4000 lbs. My driveway slopes up at about 10%. I am uncomfortable backing up my camper on that driveway, as I don't want to damage my drivetrain. Should I be? Or would it be alright? Are there any data available on what amount of trailer...

    I can’t find to seem a clear answer on this after reading for hours… We are purchasing a Geopro 19BH trailer. We have a 2020 Ascent with factory installed hitch (receiver?) rated for 5000 lbs. The RV dealer suggested we get an anti-sway hitch, which I understand is not compatible with the...

    Hey all, new around here, as I just joined this morning. I found one post mentioning the Opus RV lineup before, but it didn't amount to much however, it was an old post. So, maybe things have changed and folks have towed one of those RVs at this point. Pretty confident that my Limited can tour...

    Hi everyone, I've going through the treads on towing a travel trailer and thought it'd be easier to post my question. I'm new to towing and travel trailers, but really looking forward to the experiences. I have a 2020 Ascent Touring and we just purchased a 2019 Palomino Solaire 163x. The...

    Hello All - I am looking into a Redarc tow pro elite as my brake controller. It has a dial that is inserted into the dash, rather than mounting a "box" below the dash. Has anyone here used this brake controller? Thanks Loyce

    The P3 brake controller seems to be the most popular brake controller for the ascent, but I am curious to see what you all think about the following option for a brake controller: Draw Tite I-command Trailer Brake Controller and with this I will need to Tekonsha 3062-P Trailer Brake Control...

    Hello All - I am so excited to find this forum! We just traded in our Outback, which we loved, for an Ascent in order to tow an Airstream trailer. We have ordered a 16'Bambi - which is well enough under the towing capacity as well as tongue weight. Our urgent query is what to do about the...

    My wife and I have one small child and are looking into different lightweight campers. We found a Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH that has everything we would like, but want to make sure we are being safe. I’ve been scouring all of your experiences and insights and decided I would reach out for...

    I installed a curt class III hitch myself on my 2019 Ascent premium. However, after recently making a deal for a travel trailer and researching WDH and sway bars (and to NOT do them on the ascent) I stumbled upon why getting OEM hitch is way better. So I will be picking one up this week to DIY...
