Why is towing my little trailer so stressful?
We have a 16' vintage trailer that weighs less than 2500 lbs. We pull it with a 2013 Toyota Prerunner (rear wheel drive) double cab V6. It doesn't have the factory tow package, just an after market hi...

Ours is a '64 Oasis! :) Bob mentioned the trailers suspension, which reminds me that its suspension leaves are rusty, which I'm sure factors in too.
The back of the truck sags under the weight of the trailer but the trailer itself is level. I imagine we could increase the rear tire pressure, and throw lots of money at this problem and buy a weight distribution hitch, sway bars, new leaf springs for the trailer, shocks for the truck, etc. and wind up with a Near perfect towing situation. But I'm hoping that there is one or possibly two things that will make the biggest difference for a reasonable cost. Is a WD system the answer?
