Hi Warren. My name is Brian. We are thinking of making an offer on an Avia (no. 97). We currently have a TAB 400 that I tow with either my F150 Lightning or our '16 Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel. We split time between Kansas City and Red Lodge, Montana. There aren't enough chargers across I-90 to tow with the Lightning.
Our Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel has a tow rating of 7,200 lbs and 700 lbs tongue weight. If we buy the Avia I'll be using the Anderson weight distribution hitch with anti-sway.
Are you still towing the Avia with your '14 Sequoia? If so, have you had any issues or scary moments. I assume you are using a WDH.
I know the ideal tow vehicle would be a 3/4 ton diesel but that's not happening for us. We plan to store the Avia inside our Barndominium and use it as guest quarters and take it out for two or three day camping excursions in the Bighorn and Beartooth mountains. And we will have to use the Grand Cherokee for towing.
I'd really appreciate if you can share your towing experience using the Sequoia as it has almost identical towing specs.
Thanks.
