My wife and I took delivery of our new 5.0TA on Thursday and we are very happy with how everything turned out. The the process went very smoothly. I was concerned about the turn radius with our short bed Sierra, but Reace said from the beginning that it wouldn't be an issue. It wasn't. The Reese 15k non slider is installed on the axle and I have 33" the back window of clearance. If I remember correctly, lot's of numbers this weekend!
The drive home to Tacoma was uneventful and I really enjoyed how the 5.0 tows. It seems to really handle the bumps much better than our bumper pull Casita. Backing up is different. Not hard, it will just take a bit to get used to. We woke up Friday morning and loaded up a few things that always stayed in the Casita. We then went just 10 miles down the road to McChord AFB and camped with some friends on the base RV park. We had a terrific weekend! 2 of the best night's sleep that I have had in a long time.
We are headed out again this weekend. We can hardly wait!
Our first look!

Carefully checked out the turn angle while my wife watched. And constant supervision from our Aussie Bonser!
