My first combo. in the late 90's, was a used Tahoe, and a fairly heavy, old school 26' trailer. It was one nasty mess to operate. I jumped on the forum, yelled "help" and got some really knowledgeable folks to help. Now, this wasn't the idiots who will tell you that anything bigger than a pop-up needs a one ton dually, it's the guys like need-a-vacation, who will guide you toward real knowledge. In my case I bought a quality, properly sized, Reese Dual-Cam WDH, and installed it myself, since the dealer had badly screwed up the original hitch install. I installed a Prodigy brake controller, since a $50 pendulum controller only adds to the circus like experience of a bad tow. I installed air bags in the rear coil springs, and a got rid of the car tires it came with. They were replaced with Firestone Transforce E rated LT tires. By the time I was done, towing was a completely different experience, stable, safe, and pleasant. Your truck, properly set-up with the right equipment can be a whole other beast, if you take the time to do it right. Good luck.
