We are pretty new to the forum and our Heartland. We have had it for a week and are doing our personal touches on it now. Our first tow with it is in two weeks to St Augustine for a little beach camping trip.

i wanted to post up what we tow our Road Warrior 427 with. This is our 2016 Denali 3500 dually. I bought this one new and wanted to stay with the LML Duramax and not be a tester of the new L5B. She towed the coach home very well from the dealer and even with 3700lbs of pin weight the truck was still level as can be. I don't do sag. Lol.

The truck is still emissions compliant but I do have a Motor Ops tuner and use the heavy tow tune. After my first trip I can report back on tow mileage with this one. On my 12k V Cross fiver the best I got was 12.1 on a nice level tow but usually got got 11.2-11.5. Without the tune I got about 1mpg less towing and 2-3 mpg better unloaded.

Andersen was my first choice but I went with B&W so I could tow other people if I had to. We've been full timing for 3 years now and never move unless a hurricane comes. I just put the hitch in and haven't tried it yet, a lot of work (we have to much s$?t) for a test.. Looked up your rig and it sure is nice ours is the Charleston and LOVE it. If your ever up this way we are at Twin Lakes in Chocowinity NC, and go for a Cruise on my boat !

I have Andersen Ultimate hitch and love it. It's created a lot of interest at the campgrounds. And at 32 lbs. need I say more 😊

I bought a leftover 2016 on the lot, this past January. Wish it was your color, but white is alright. I towed my 12,000lb tow behind within the first 1000 miles on the clock, completely stock. It was easier than my F350 modded and bagged. I then added the bags and BnW turnover with the Anderson Ultimate and pulled my 18,000lb Cyclone 4014, just as easy and was averaging 12.5-13 mpg.
