6 ply or 10 ply. Would I see a difference?
Towing a 7000lbs tt with F150 2021 w/ 6 ply factory tires. Experiencing some bouncing. Would I see a difference with 10ply tires?would the ride w/o a trailer be too stiff? Thank you MC

It makes sense.
Hitch is pretty straight forward. I have worked with Equilizer manufacturer to adjust it. It is a 4 way 10k hitch with more than plenty capacity to spare for my load.
Trailer is brand new and lightly loaded, traveling with empty tanks, no food most times and light gear. The only thing I can think of is the trailer does not have torsion axles.

Something else to consider. IF the WDH is well over capacity for the trailer. That will cause bouncing as well. You don't say how heavy your TT is, but mine is around 6000lb loaded. And I am using 800lb bars. I have 0 bounce, and 0 sway. I have 2756lb Hankook on the 150 now, but I was running 2756lb wranglers, and they had no bounce either.
You don't have enough weight on the truck to make the tires bounce. but a too tight WDH can make both truck, and trailer bounce, and it can make it feel like it is chucking as well. You know. make it feel little jerky bounces.
And then there is something else to consider. Are the trailer tires balanced? If it is a new trailer. I'm betting they are NOT. Most don't balance trailer tires, and you can feel it in the truck.
