Hi, we have a 2018 Thor Four Winds on a 2016 MB Sprinter chassis. Zero problems with the MB. Our last trip we pulled our Jeep Wrangler, 4 down. It’s near the towing weight limit, but other than slowing to around 52 mph going up 6% hills not an issue. We got 13mpg towing on this trip. I have added an oversized sway bar and might look into external transmission cooler next summer, just because I’m conservative...also you will need to keep some DEF on hand..
