We currently have a 2010 Pace Arrow on the W24 Workhorse chassis. We have been towing a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. We now are considering towing a GMC Acadia. The Acadia's published 'curb weight'  is 4,656 for the front wheel drive version and 4,850 for the All Wheel Drive ; Fleetwood publishes that the W24 chassis has  A GCVW of 30,000 pound , that allows for 6,000 pounds of towed weight; they also state that the hitch is rated at 6,000 pounds. My question is : What experiences has anyone had towing a heavier vehicle... power .... MPG...etc (which is currently about 7 mpg towing the Equinox) ??  We had the motorhome and car weighed Cat Truck Scales. The Equinox weighted in at 4,020 pounds with half a tank of gas. The total Gross Weight of Motorhome and Equinox was 25,980 pounds. Prior to the Equinox we towed a Pontiac Montanna which 'scaled' in at 4,240 pounds 

Randy, thanks for your reply. I DO use a Brake Buddy when towing. Just a little concerned about pushing the limits of the hitch rating at 6,000 pounds. What do you think ?

Randy,  Thanks for your input

Steve,

When towing my Equinox the procedure is pretty simple and spelled out clearly in the owner's manual under 'recreational towing' . A single fuse requires to be removed to prevent battery drainage while towing; I set up a lighted switch on the dash which allows me to just switch the fuse on or off.  The Acadia has similar towing precedes also spelled out in detail in the owner's manual. However there are three fuses that require removal: one is in the fuse box under the hood and the other two are in the fuse box below the floor behind the passenger seat (very easy access). Blue Ox has switches that can be install for all three of these switches, making it an easy procedure. The owner,s manual is quite clear. It is also recommended that you run the engine at the beginning of each day and at each fuel stop for 5 minutes. The other steps involve; with car running shift into neutral then turn the car off. This will unlock the steering column for flat towing (All Wheels Down)..
