AFAIK, 5,000 lbs. is the limit without a WDH. IOW, a WDH is required for more than 5,000 lbs "conventional" towing regardless of the total tow rating (even HD pickups that are rated to tow upwards of 18k lbs.) So I wouldn't assume that having a WDH will increase the tow rating.

Referring to this (admittedly an early 'artist's conception' of the Harvester unit): ...makes me think even more that the 5,000 lb. tow limit is likely a result of having that much weight that far behind the rear axle. If we assume that the Harvester genset weighs, say, 300 lbs., that's almost...

Wow, you must have to use washed out Forest Service roads to get to your local grocery stores & mall parking lots, and once you make it to the pavement, you need to beat Dodge Hellcats, etc. in a drag race to the best parking spaces. ;) IOW, all you really need is a Rav4 or maybe a Sienna? Or...

Yeah. Keogh's previous statements referred to 'full capability' with the Harvester. I'm now thinking that most people who tow would be better off with a big*ss generator mounted on the triangular section in front of the trailer, IF only there was a way to allow it to charge the Scout's battery...

Yeah. TFL (on youtube) has tested all of them, both up the "Ike Gauntlet" (8 miles up a max 7% grade on I70 west of Denver), and on a somewhat hilly ~100-mile loop around Denver. Although they have a bad habit of not using the same trailer from one test to the next, the gist of it is, towing a...

Yes, 15 gal. gas provides approx. 350 miles add'l range, which is 23.3 mpg

Typically, it's the largest variant, i.e.: crew cab with the longest available bed, with a V8 engine & 4WD. Both F150 & Silverado have had this problem in the past, but both GM & Ford have cut out some of the weight & boosted the GVWR on the latest models. This problem may now be more prevalent...

Since it looks like nobody else has noticed this, I've color-coded what *MAY* be an important distinction between "Hybrid mode" & "Heavy-Duty Towing Mode" If the Harvester's trailer tow capacity is really only 5,000 lbs., the weight of the engine sitting behind the rear axle might have...
