Initial towing gear
Hello - I am totally new to this RVing (trailer delivered tomorrow) and Need some help with initial tow gear. I'm getting a 2013 Travel Lite I18 Cobblestone which has a dry weight of 2750. I have a 99 Toyota Tacoma Xtra Cab TRD/SR5/4WD/3.4 V6 with a 5000 lb tow rating.
The trailer is to be used by the wife and I for weekend trips and we won't be loading it up too much. Questions
1. What type brake controller is needed?
2. Will a weight distribution hitch be needed?
3. Anti-Sway bar?
I ordered a HD Class III/IV Reese receiver hitch and will be installing a 7 pin plug. are there any issues with the Toyota I should keep an eye out for. I'll be putting in a trans cooler and I use synthetic lubes in everything. The Toyota was not equipped with the OEM Tow Package. That should get me started till I run out of $$$. Looking forward to doing some sightseeing!
