I found another TT brand/model that we like and was hoping you would all chime in on this one too: the Passport Elite Grand Touring 2670BHWE. Dry weight is around 5200 lbs. Exterior length is still a bit long at 30'4". hitch weight is 624.
That does everyone think? still too big? which hitch would you recommend?
Better as far as the trailer is concerned but none of this addresses the Tahoe's shortcomings as a tow vehicle, particularly it's short wheelbase of just 116". As for WD, I too towed for years with an Equal-i-zer, haven't owned a Sway Pro but am quite familiar with how it works, and would agree the Sway Pro is the preferred choice between the two as it addresses pretty well all the shortcomings of the Equal-i-zer which is noisy in operation, requires torque wrenches which you likely don't have to properly set up (and later readjust), is a pain to reset the head angle washers, and requires complete replacement if you later decide to go to a heavier or lighter trailer. The Sway Pro however does use chains and for some that's a show stopper itself compared to the Equal-i-zer which has no chains at all. Personal choice, both will do an admirable job. :B That said, if you still insist on that short wheelbasse Tahoe I'd suggest you seriously considering investing in a much more costly Hensley Arrow or ProPride 3P, both of which are designed to eliminate sway before it even starts whereas pretty well every other system simply dampens sway.
