Toy Hauler Travel trailer

[Rbi]

Hello,
It's bin a while since my last visit here but needed to put the trailer purchase on ice. But, we are starting to look again. I came a cross a model which would fit our needs. The 2025 Genesis Vortex V2215SSXL. Can some one rate this manufacturer? I'm in San Diego and they are not far north of us. My towing truck is a 2021 Toyota Tundra 5.7 V8.

I posted this yesterday but did not see it. So sorry if this is a duplicate.

Thanks,

Reiner

I had a 25' Carson Toyhauler that I used to to with an 89 Chevy 350 K2500. Roughly the same weight as what you are considering. Your modern engine produces about 50% more HP and Torque than my old chevy.

I towed mostly in the mountain west, and the trailer broke the truck - specifically the transmission. The 700R4 was not a very good transmission for towing.

I had to use a weight distributing hitch with big bars, especially when hauling empty. Toyhaulers have very high tongue weights, loads behind the rear axle will help. Its unlikely you'll get a toyhauler unbalanced unless you have a load in and all the tanks are empty. I used a weight distributing hitch with a built in cam-type anti sway feature. Never had an issue with the mechanics of towing the vehicle after that.

Gas mileage was pretty abysmal - below 7 towing, so check your tank size to see what kind of range you will get. I got used to hauling a 5 gallon jug of fuel with me just in case.

That trailer is going to be close to the Toyota's limits, and in my experience that can lead to a less than enjoyable driving experience.
