    Polaris Slingshot. Just drove 18hrs to pick up new toy in Alabama. Really amazed by Tundras performance towing.

    Ha! Nice Pro they are a little saggy for towing. I just put air bags on mine after towing 5 bikes from dallas. Super easy too install.20170512_154824.jpg 20170512_163850.jpg

    Feel like mine squats more than it should but seems to tow like a champ and I never feel any harsh hits! Love my tundra!
    Small trailer (19ft attitude)but works perfect for what we use it for! Measured the tounge weight at 950lbs dry. Using a weight distribution hitch and I have no complaints.

    20 ft enclosed trailer, used it to move from North Carolina to California. I towed 12K and some change not including what I had in the bed of the truck. Grossly over the recommended tow rating and flattened out my springs, I had to add a helper spring. Truck handled like a champ. Truck got really thirsty with all the mountains of New Mexico, especially at 7k elevation, I got only 3 MPG through that state. Trailer is empty in the pic shown.

    Weight distribution hitch can take almost all off the squat out. Check out some YouTube videos. There is a good one that was posted on this forum before, talked about benefits of the WDH and Airbags respectively.

    Sway bar helps a lot with the roll, I had one before I towed. Can't speak to the difference, but I can say I have little to no roll when turning. Even at short curved off ramps.

    I agree 100%. This picture is of my Pro, with only the TRD sway bar and Equal-i-zer weight distributing hitch. My TT is almost 32' total length, with a dry weight of 6,300 lbs.f208febb20a7d969e9caca00e487ed4a_cae78b0999a106a8b44a29cb755663bca442ce36.jpg

    Definitely fun rides, rust is a pain in them however. I've got one and it brings a smile to my face every time I drove it.
