Hi Rick,
things are going well. Cobra drivetrain is all sorted and running well now since the recent cam change and carb tuning. Much better. Thanks for asking.
As for towing trips, they will be short; under 350 miles once a year or so. And maybe 5 trips a year under 100 miles each. Not much towing to do really, but I do want to be safe and surefooted no matter what. Gas only. Fuel costs really are not an issue since I won't be towing much. I can't find much in the mid-size SUV market, but wanted to ask to see if anyone had any oustanding mid-size SUV stories that seemed convincing. My other purpose is to use the trailer for dirt-bike trips and hauling stuff on the trailer behind the SUV vs. buying a truck. I'm sort of stuck on the Yukon SUV or extra cab-GMC trucks at the moment. I want the x-Cab, and my better half wants us to get the Yukon or Toyota Sequoia SUV. I kept thinking I could get away with a R/T Durango or something.... as a short-trip tow vehicle, but maybe not. Well thats about it for now... see ya.
Hey Craig,
I just saw you post after I responded to Rick. Sounds interesting and good to hear. Maybe I'll look further into the Durangos along with the others, Yukon, etc. I do like the mid 3/4 size SUVs like the Durangos vs. the X-large models.
How about the new one coming out. I could go for this one. Check it out if you have not seen it yet:
