TERMINATOR is off the scale
Default

All points above are valid. I towed a 28 ft. enclosed trailer 2000 miles 2 weeks ago. It was a total weight of probably 9000 lbs. I had a hitch that gave a proper trailer ride height. We loaded the car in the trailer towards the rear to lessen tounge weight.

I have to say that the H2 tows very stable. I was guessing I would have to run at 60-65. But once underway, I had confidence to cruise at 70-75. Downhill grades were 80. As someone said, great care needs to be taken in stopping any tow rig. But I dont see why an H2 would take any longer to slow down than my 7500 lb Excursion. Which by the way, the H2 is more stable towing than the Excursion. The BIG downside is fuel econ. I got 6.5 mpg towing. And with gas running close to 2 bucks a gal. its not very economical to do much long distance towing. But add another trick the the H2 long list of skills - it tows extremely well!
