I think they have an L465E transmission...pretty much the same as in the 1/2 ton trucks.

you guys do realize its only a 10 bolt rear end :notam: I wouldn't :messedup:
The taking off isnt what would worry me as much as the stopping and swaying.If you got some side winds or on some bad pavement and it started to track funny it might whip that little h2 around pretty good.Thats a short wheel base to be towing that long and high profile of a trailer.Boats tow alot different than toy haulers.just my 2 pennys here.
yup, what he said. Thats why I only towed the 30 with my 2 dr full size Blazer for 4 months then jumped into a Ram 2500/cummins and then onward to my 34. No problems now. i also towed a 35 flame all the way to Cape Canaveral last Christmas, no problems at all and 13mpg.
a 3/4 ton Avalanche with the 8.1 (496) in it. I tow a 29 Warlock and the truck doesn't know it's even there! Long wheel base and three axle trailer leaves no sway or tow problems. I have the leather interior, onstar etc. etc. It's as nice if not nicer than our Escalade we have in the fleet. Bad thing is I only get 9 miles per gallon. Good news it comes with a 38 gallon tank. I wanted a H2 but was advised against it by my dealer. My .02 worth of info.

i would rather tow with a full size half ton truck then a H2.. but i wouldn't tow a toy hauler that size with either one. just because a vehicle can move it.. doesn't mean it can tow it. you also need to consider how well the light weight drivetrain will hold up under heavy load conditions.
I tow my Heat with an H2.. Surprisingly it tows it well. I tow from the Simi Valley to the river which has a lot of uphill and have no problem at all. I can reach any speed I want... It doesnt climb like a diesel though. The ride is very comfortable. Actually its more comfortable than any other vehicle I've had.
Come on.....................by a real tow vehicle. The GVW on a 31 footer has to be around 14000 pounds. That overpriced glorified Tahoe would die if you tried that plus it would be a squirly ass ride. Buy a truck, thats what they're for.

But you wouldn't look as good dropping off those kids at soccer practice.
