We down sized our trailer and got something smaller. How does my new set up look? I haven't taken it to the scales yet, but plan to.I think the hitch needs to be lowered a bit to get the tongue paralle.Uploaded with ImageShack.us

It looks like it came with a wet bath. Is that what you really want? Also, you obviously need a weight distribution hitch, probably around 1000 pound spring bars, to keep the trailer behind the tow vehicle and not to get into a sway condition. Don't let those on here that might try to tell you that you can tow it on the ball safely and if I were you I would get a one ton dually to tow that beast. Get rid of those junk Chinese tires that it came with. Otherwise, you never know!!!!

You need airbags. What is the GVWR of the TT?

Good thing the trailer is empty, or the weight police would be all over you!

Yes I agree newer tires With the tires in the corners it should be stable, will you add a couple of jacks? How is the wiring set up?

You are on the right track - keep working at it and you will get it right. Also it would be a good idea to run it by the weight police.

I'm sorry but that SUV is just a grocery getter you need at least a 3/4 ton.

I think you are over your ratings for the truck. Also, I do not see a brake connection or trailer lights fro that matter.

Sad part is those tires are probably better than what most manuf. offer on new TT's!

BTW, good luck backing that up! Or do you just back up and let it go under the Burb?

When pulling you really need a diesel.

BTW it should be an F350 if you ever decide to upgrade.

A word to the wise, I would invest in an electric tongue jack. You will wear your arm out raising that thing. And don't just get one that is adequate, go for a higher rating.
