Great discussion. Thanks. I presently have medium TT towed by a Tundra. Did a 16,000 mi western states loop last summer and had 6 blow outs and actually broke a wheel hub. I'm 1000# less than gross. I'm thinking TT are just too lightly built for heavy traveling so I'm looking. As I travel with 6 bikes and probably a future inflatable kayak, I'll probably need to tow a trailer with small vehicle inside. I thought I wanted a diesel for towing ability uphill as well as engine braking downhill. Your discussion of gas has me interested however as I need only a 30-36 footer.
Finally my question, can gas rigs have brake abilities to tow a fairly heavy trailer?
Thanks.
I even uprated the axles and tires on my TT to stop this. Took me a while to figure this out. A load leveling hitch works both ways. What you load on the trailer goes to the truck and what you load on the truck get pushed to the trailer. FWIW
