The June 2009 issue of Trailer Life magazine had an article about the new Elkmont pulled by the Ford Flex. The Flex had only a 3.5 liter v-6. It had 262 horsepower with 248 lb-ft torque at 4500 rpms. The Flex had a tow rating of 4500 lbs. The article gave the Flex/Elkmont combo a good review.

Of course, the Flex had a weight distributoin hitch with a friction type sway bar for extra safety. As they said in the article: " We arrived with the Flex in charge of the Elkmont, and we were strees free". The Elkmont willingly followed the Flex, and it displayed no bad matters even under adverse wind conditions. They said that once they got the equalizing hitch adjusted since the Flex had a soft suspension, the Elkmont felt like a natural behind the Flex.

So I am sure your vehicle would be very comparable then to the Flex after you stated the towing capacity of your vehicle and the size of the motor. Also, you had the factory tow package which is a big plus.


We are trading our 3326 King in this Spring on the larger Elkmont as soon as it is produced. We have had 3 regular TrailManors over the last 17 years, and we think the Elkmont is a very nice unit. We can't wait to get the new unit. Both types of TrailManors are very nice, but the Elkmont fits our needs the best at this stage of our life.

Happy shopping.
