suv to trailer towing help
Ok, I need help from some people who do this regularly. I'm looking at buying a tt with a gvwr of 5955. http://www.lemkerv.com/vehicle-details/2008-keystone-springdale-189fl-e5b4d205c857495b81337e...

I am well versed towing with SUV's and most any large (1/2 ton series) SUV will work with that trailer. But always verify weights on a scale.
That said, I will never again tow a TT with any SUV without a Hensley or Propride hitch (1400lb bars for any tongue over 700-800) while running the OEM P tires at max cold to stiffen them up.
Add LT tires as a secondary upgrade.
You may not "need" one of these expensive hitches with a trailer and SUV of the size mentioned, but I promise you will be more than happy you paid the price if you ever get a chance to compare towing the same trailer with the same SUV with each WDH type.
And no, I'm not affiliated with either Hensley or Propride. Sean at Propride is typically decent...until he's not...and then you see why he split off from Hensley! And Hensley has their own issues, but they stand by their product no matter what.
