[friday]

I am trying to find the 'old' Toyota web-site, but the wording was "includes a 6,500lb weight distributing hitch". I always thought that was a bit misleading... from what I understood the 'hitch' to be (ie, not just the receiver).

The trailer is an Airstream Basecamp, and we might throw our dirtbikes in the back... but they would load pretty much over the axle. I am not too worried about the tongue weight itself, but the trailer pushing the truck around... we live in a very, very hilly and twisty area of British Columbia (20% grades on the road here) and I want to do everything I can to minimize the risk of having a wreck. Even empty, it is easy to get the back end pushing when braking into these gravel corners...

I've already hooked up a Tecknosha P3... and we are going to get the trailer in May I hope.... it is in Nevada right now and it is a 4000km or so drive for use. Obviously, I want to have a very peaceful trip back with no worries...

The little baby Reese WD single bar is only $350 or so... while the Propride and Hensley are both $2500... overkill for my situation, but they would probably be great in the corners here...

{edit}

I found the reference to the hitch under 'accessories'... "Class IV Weight DistributionTrailer Hitch" is what they call it on Toyota's site. That doesn't seem right to me...
