    SO Yesterday i purchased my first New to me Tundra (2014 SR5 Double Cab) to replace my failing 2010 F-250 as my work truck. I own a Bread distribution Business and i haul a 22' enclosed trailer. my question is what recommendation do you all have to help with the ride and to increase the longevity of my Tundra. Thanks in advance and i'm looking forward to many good year with my new truck.

    To answer your question, there are several threads that specifically discuss towing. Try searching for Towing.

    Welcome aboard and congrats on the new (to you) Tundra. Should prove a worthy companion for you work duties. A 22’ enclosed trailer sounds like a beast. What are the specs on that thing? Overall weight and tongue weight? Doubt you were using a WDH with the F250, but depending on the trailer specs you may want to with the Tundra. You didn’t say if your truck has the 4.6 or 5.7 V8, most are 5.7.

    @KNABORES Hello yes sorry it is a 5.7 and day one went well with minimal load in the trailer but day two I was sagging quite a bit more than I would like. I was recommended the Roadmaster active suspension kit, but I'm welcome to any other ideas.

    Weight distribution hitch would help for sure. Many here have great results with the RAS. I have a feeling the load in the trailer varies from day to day and keeping the WDH dialed in would be tough. Anderson makes an adjustable (and pretty spendy) WDH that can be dialed in on the fly. RAS will always be helping with rear end sag, may help a little with rear end stability, but won’t help with sway control or weight distribution.
