I pull a 30' Blackstone 7500 lbs. dry with WD bars and two anti friction sway bars with a 2007 Tundra without a problem.My 3000 watt Honda generator (74 lbs) sits in the front of the trailer along with Camp Chef grill (45lbs) and anything else that will put weight forward as my biggest weight other than the TT is my 72 gallon water tank near the rear of TT (600 lbs)My total weight loaded 8600 lbs TW (870) lbs Handles and brakes just fine just need to crank the sway bars tight to keep from swaying.Range of fuel is a problem if you go long distances,I can get 200 miles without overdrive or long climbs.I always use the 4 speed and push forward on the shift lever for 5th when cruising 65 mph.Occasionally if tucked in behind a semi I flip it into 6th and my rpm's are under 2000 I can cruise for miles getting 12 to 13 mpg.Also only use unleaded plus 89 octane for better mileage and performance cost's an additional $2 a tank and worth it
BS, you don't get 12-13mpg's unless your towing with a strong tailwind.
So you say you are using two anti friction bars? Are they the kind that hook on to the little balls on your WD head? If so then why do you have to crank the spring bars tighter? It would seem that the two anti friction sway bars aren't doing their job. I think you're living in a fantasy world and don't really know what a controlled towing situation feels like.
