Requirements for towing and setup of a TT 3500lbs or less

I have traveled over 100K miles since retiring in a Class A and thinking about downsizing to a small TT towed with a F-150 or equivalent 1/2 ton truck and have several questions. Would any special hit...

From my own experience with electric trailer tongue jacks make sure you have the manual crank handle in easy to remember location or at least the proper size socket wrench tool to operate the jack.

On both my 1500 and 2500 Dodge rams I used Goodyear LT Truck tires with snow emblem and ran 80 PSI on at least rear tires when towing the trailer most of time.

Sometimes ran only 65 PSI but I could tell difference in stability of the combo. 65 was okay but 80 was better (solid as a rock).
