I definitely agree with the last few posts.  We bought our 2720SD with the "newbie" assumption that the dry weight plus a "little" extra weight for options would be okay for our Honda Odyssey.  But when we had it weighed at a truck scale recently, we were "enlightened" to the fact that the options added to our TM (the typical ones listed in earlier posts) quickly reached our max for our Odyssey of 3200lbs (we are a family of 4 - hence the 3200 vs 3500lbs).  

We had to make a tough decision - pack EXTREMELY light (no frills) and no mountain hills or get a tougher tow vehicle.  We opted for the second idea (03 Toyota Sequoia - 6500lb tow capacity).  I want my kids to see the country and not have to worry where we can go by weight.
