I hope I did not get your hopes up by placing this thread in the Towing section.
I have not really pulled a travel trailer with my 2019 Ascent 8-passenger Premium yet, but I am very, very seriously ‘thinking’ about it.
I have archived several months of research and thoughts about pulling a travel trailer with my Ascent onto my Web server. I did that mainly to protect my work from a computer crash or theft. There are no outside links to this information, so just finding it with a Web search would be highly unlikely.
Since the information is now ‘out there on the Web’, I thought that I would post a link here so that anyone who’s thinking about towing a travel trailer with their Ascent would also have this information available to them.
The information includes my towing background, why I started the research, some general information on selecting a suitable travel trailer, a modified spreadsheet, and how to use it, that I created to speculate on whether a specific trailer might be towable by the Ascent, what we are looking for in a towable and why, possible trailers that the wife and I have considered, and the thoughts about whether or not we really want to do this again.
It is my hope that someone besides myself finds this at least a little useful or thought provoking, but if not, that is okay as well.
Be forewarned that this information is not a ‘quick read’.
