The first tow was excellent! It was about 100 miles (mostly interstate) with an elevation change of about 3,000 feet (lower). First of all, the Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) empty (no tow) smooths bumps in the road and helps with sway control. When hooked up to the travel trailer (TT), the fender height is within 1/4" all around with zero difference at two wheels. The TT is about 6,400 pounds loaded. I use the Equalizer weight distribution hitch with sway control. Very nice and very easy all around. I'm pleased with the RAS...much more so than airbags and TRD sway bar that were on my 2008. My advice is to keep reading reviews and do you homework. My setup works for me, but it may not work as well with a heavier load...
Also, I ordered the RAS directly from the manufacturer in NC. Do it around a holiday and you will get at least 10% off MSRP. They were very helpful and wanted to make sure that I understood how to install the system. I was encouraged to call them if I ran into any trouble.

It’s great to hear that the setup works for you. Will RAS work with TRD sway bar? Or the TRD sway bar needs to be removed first?
I do tow my TT once every or every other month and installed the TRD sway bar on my 2019.
