Tires & Shocks

I have a 2012 Honda Ridgeline and plan on towing a 2019 R-Pod that weights approximately 2967lbs. I am asking if certain tires and shocks can help with the towing. Also my old hitch was for larger and heavier TT and would like to change it. Any suggestions?...Thanks

    Trailer isn't heavy enough for tires to make a difference as long as they're in decent shape. Air em up and go.
    Shocks are 8 years old so whether towing or not, shocks may improve handling.
    But again, little trailer = not much effect on handling.
