[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 949731, member: 55399"] Congrats on the new hybrid. You'll have lots of fun with it. We had a hybrid for a couple of years tha I towed with my Gen 1 Trac. The WD hitch makes all the difference in the world. We had a pop-up prior to the hybrid also, and I felt that the 5,000lb hybrid towed much better than the pop-up because of the WD hitch (didn't have it with the pop-up). I towed our hybrid from VA through mountains to IL when we moved in 2006, and it did just fine. You might want to consider having the transmission filter/fluid changed, just to make sure that's in good shape. It couldn't hurt, since the tranny will be working harder to pull heavier trailer. Also, don't use Overdrive often. I almost always towed with Overdrive off - just didn't seem to do as well with O/D on. Overall, I think that you'll have no problem towing the hybrid. Have fun!:supercool: Here's a picture of my Trac and the hybrid we used to own: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
