Towing an Airstream 22 FB

[Dbz]

This is my first post to this forum -- however, I am considering purchasing a new airstream trailer of this model and wondered if any on this forum have experience towing this model. I have been told that my JEEP Liberty CRD (factory towing package) with a specified towing capacity of 5000 pounds can easy handle this but I am unsure what the real world experience is out there ... any thoughts or ideas to offer?

David,

I can't speak to the 22' FB, other than... nice trailer! I tow a 16' Bambi with my JEEP Liberty CRD and I could not be happier. My Bambi comes in at around 3,500 lbs. I down sized the tires on the JEEP a bit based on advice from Andy at Can-Am and I have a weight distribution hitch. I also added McKesh Mirrors. It all came together well. I average about 18 mpg towing and I have towed all around the Rocky Mountains.
