A newbie thinking about getting a TT

Congrats on the new adventure! Your truck should handle that trailer kinda ok. I had a similar set up several trailers ago and it pulled/stopped it but it didn't like it. A WDH will be a necessity. I also recommend two friction sway bars. They are cheap and pretty effective. When you look at pulling these things, the brick inspired aerodynamics will have a very large affect on your TV. Don't expect anything more than about 7mpg. Equalizer has a good web site showing you how to setup and adjust your hitch. It will probably take a couple of tries, but it's not hard to adjust either. Airbags are really expensive for a truck you may not keep very long. Just don't get in a hurry and you should be ok. One thing about the route you're taking, when you do get the 3/4T you will really appreciate it!
