I bought the Fuzion TH last year, just like the one in the photo and LOVE it. I tow with a F-350 SRW 7.3L Diesel, and had to add the Firestone airbags, a month ago, and look forward to the new pull next week...I also have added the superchip to my truck which I believe is essential to more horsepower, and from reading everyone else's comments, you will need to do just about the same things.
Good Luck. And as my dealer told me, buy the best so you don't want it (the best) the next year...

I have an '08 Raptor 3814 and pull it with my upgraded 2500HD Duramax. By upgraded, I'm referring to airbags and Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Load Range 'E' tires. Personally, we ALWAYS camp where we have hook-ups, so I never carry more than about 25 gallons of water, and I balance the weights as much as possible to keep my PW down where its manageable. My truck pulls this unit beautifully.

Having said that, however, I have a hunch that I'll be eventually dedicating a dually to this hauler. I'm one of those folks who cannot simply trade my SRW for a DRW because I use my truck as a daily driver and snowplow truck. The only reason I'll be moving to a dually is to provide more stability in the instance that I need to make a quick move to avoid an accident, and so that I no longer need to worry about pin weight.

We have an '08 Fuzion 362 and love it. We've had it out on the road 4 times and have had no issues. I'm pulling with an '02 F-350 SRW CC short bed. I need to get a dually so I'm looking at a Freightliner Sportchassis P2. It's a little TV over-kill, but my wife is onboard with it, so why not?

Fusion - yes
Dually - yes

remember, can do it and should do it are 2 completely different things.

we bought a smaller trailer then what I would have liked to get because I didn't want to have to upgrade my TV. I know people who pull 39 footers with F250's and it works, but it wasn't something I was willing to do.
