Here is a picture of the Volvo hooked up to the Excel Wild Cargo and the 2015 GMC 3500 Denali HD. The Volvo still has to get the new Smart Car deck installed but worked great last weekend.

Hi Jordan,
I have only used the Volvo for one weekend without the new deck installed. The deck has been set back for build time and I may not get much time to use it this summer. It does work very well hauling the Toy Hauler and just idles down the highway @ about 1100 RPM at 110 KPH. It will be the main tow vehicle once completed.
The GMC is just a couple of days old and am having a 25K fifth wheel hitch installed tomorrow. It will be used to move the trailer and short trips if were heading to more remote locations that the 4x4 is needed. I really like how quiet the new GMC is while driving.

Im sure the Volvo has no problem towing the trailer! The new GMC HD pickups are sure nice looking, definitely getting my attention as a Mopar guy.

Went out to where I store my trailer and did a test for hitch height and the ITBC that is now good for elec/hydra disk brakes on the trailer.

I thought it was a truck camper on a utility trailer. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/tongue.gif "tongue")
Seriously, nice little 5th wheel. The best of both worlds, small and easier to pull.
