Looking for my first TT. Are you folks happy with your 177? Pulling it with my 07 Yukon 4x4 with tow package. Should be a good match. Any info on the 177 appreciated.

It is a TRIFECTA.  Purchased ours March 2011, extremely pleased with our 177.  For us the floor plan is best and I bet the 177 you are looking at has a few 'extras' that ours lack.  Go for it !

Finished year #4 with our 2012 177. Puurrfect for the 2 of us. Table stays up full time, slide out makes for so much more room. Short queen bed is great (with a new mattress, and 2.5in foam topper.) We pull our 177 with an 07 Toyota FJ Cruiser, don't even know its behind us. Only have a friction sway bar, so far no need for wdh. Canoe goes on top of the FJ. Life is good. Go for the 177 you'll love it.

Love my 2010 177, purchased it used; but made significant mods on it to increase storage space, including building cabinets from Sonny's design.  I plan to add an Atwood range as per GW Smith over at the Pod Facebook page.  And, it's about time to change out those knobby Mudstar tires that came as an original.

Are you interested in a 2015 179? Financial restructuring might be in order after purchasing a new house. 3755 miles on tires.
