For a number of years we towed our 2619 TM with a six cylinder Aerostar van that had a 4.0 liter engine. When we weighed our TM as loaded for travel, it weighed in at just about 3600 lbs. The Aerostar was rated to tow 5000, so it seemed we were okay. However, mountains on I-40 in New Mexico pulled our speed down to about 50 mph when the speed limit was 75. We had the most trouble when we tried to cross Teton Pass going from Jackson, Wyoming to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Our speed dropped down to 25 mph. We now tow with a Chevy Silverado with 4.7 liter engine and tow rating of 9,000 lbs. Hardly know we have a trailer behind.
You definitely need the load distribution hitch!!!
