Wayne, you have a right vehicle for the kind of travels you do. Scorpions probably the right tires, too; I'd get an LT version of the tire for reliability on the dirt roads.

I do not have the trailer hitch so I do not know what to say. With my experience with Rodeo and Axiom, I'd say that this setup can accommodate up to 32" / 265 tires, but I have no idea how about the trailer hitch.

I love the Tuscon area, although I've never off-roaded over there. I like the parks and the Tombstone.
