I didn't realize the tranmissions were fragile(!) but wanted to be well within the limits.
We were thinking seriously about a 21" hybrid. They seem to run about 3000LBs dry. Two or three trips a year bearing in mind we have to cross the Rockies to get to Beautiful British Columbia.
We tried our 06 out with a 12" tent trailer which went great - loaded box, bikes, dog, kid, water toys - but wanted the extra HP not just for the weight but the drag.
We'll keep an eye on it.
