I hitch up, then jack up the EQ Bars while the Sequoia is OFF. Then, I turn the Sequoia on and it kicks in the auto leveling and you can see it raise the backend up to completely level...works very slick

for the rigs that do not have auto leveling suspension, how much does the rear sag with a modest amount of tongue weight?

the 2010s do not come with auto leveling, i thought it was standard, but it is not even offered this year

thanks

where can people buy these propride/hensley whatever things? when i get back im gonna rent and tow a camper thing, it only weighs about 3500 lbs, and im not too worried about it, but ive never towed anything. i have the stock tow package, but id have to go get one of those things with the ball on it, figured id just go to wal mart. also, whats a break controller? and where can i get one of those? are there any shops in san diego where i can get all this stuff at one spot? my wife will be picking me up there and i plan on hitting up some motorcycle shops, but i might as well visit some towing places too. also, how much can i expect to spend on all this stuff?

Sequoia and Tundra tows great!
I have very heavy 21' Toyhauler Haulmark
My brother tows 28' Cougar with his tundra.

Went to SC Greenwille area for fathers day, and enjoyed our weekends.

Also you see my in laws RV in the back ground.

When I hook up the pictured toyhauler I get a drop of 1-2 inches. Enough to get flashed by oncoming traffic since the headlights beam goes way up. Now that I have the airbags though it should help.
