We towed for one night before the bags and the front hood was raised up, so I'm sure the headlights were out of wack. Also, the back end went down too far. Now we're nice and level and the towing feels more secure. The ride in the empty truck is a little rougher. The dealer who installed said that even though most say to keep 5 lbs of pressure when not using, they recommend 15-20 lbs because it will extend the life of the air bags. For now we're keeping 20. Next time we go camping will be Memorial day for four days. Thanks for the comment!

Nice looking rig there with the5th wheel. Do you know anyone towing a 5th wheel with a Crew Max ? That's what I have but am getting mixed answers on the subject. Thanks, joecrewmax

You can tow a 5'er with a crewmax, you just need a slider hitch. When we were at Stephen Foster State Park two weeks ago, there was a Tundra crewmax there that was towing a 5'er and he had a slider hitch. He said that he hadn't had any problems with it.

DDBROWN17 Nice camper like the layout. I have been towing a slightley heavier camper for 2 years 2 trips to Florida. Dealer has given you some bad info. 5 lbs. empty is more than enough. Try setting your tow pressure by measuring your truck height empty and raising your truck loaded to within 1to 2 ins. of this height loaded. With 40 lbs you should actually be at or above your factory ride height. You really must be rideing like a stonebolt.
