My suggestion would be to make sure you don't get too big of a TT for your tow vehicle. Our 1st TT was a smaller one at 22' and 4050 lbs loaded. I towed it with an 08 F150. I used a simple EAZ-Lift WDH. I had air shocks on the truck because we carried a lot in the bed. The TT's tongue weight was around 600 lbs. The truck and TT rode like a caddy. Nice and smooth.
Went bigger to a 7300 lb TT @31' and the same truck. Towed like a bucking bronco. Moved up to a 3/4 ton and things got better.
My advice is to keep it simple and light. Any time you start trying to tow 9,000 lbs with a lighter tow vehicle you get the tail wagging the dog thing.
My 08 F150 all loaded up with camping gear in the bed far outweighed the TT.
