I am pulling my 5400 lb 26 ft hyplite with 2003 2500 HD crew cab. I the a Reese 1400 lb hitch with sway control and the tires aired up at 70 lb.

Are you sure that is the correct amount of air pressure. It seems high for that light of a trailer. 5400 pounds must be the dry weight. Never use dry weights for any calculations. What is the trailer's gross weight rating?

The GVW is 9000 Lb stamped inside and out side the tires are E rated. I wouldn't think of loading 4000 LBs in it. The frame 8 inch I beam other then the steel frame its all aluminum and foam.


Tomorrow I going to load my two 500 lb atv hoping the weight in the back will help before I start trying to adjust the sway bay to get more weigh on the front.

Might just be semantics but you want to adjust the weight distribution spring bars to effect weight distribution.


This is my first toy hauler. Are toy hauler heaver in the front.Should I adjust the Reese hitch with it loaded?

Yes on both. Ideally the tongue weight should be around 13 percent and not less than 10 percent to avoid sway. Toy haulers are tongue heavy empty to allow for the added weight of toys behind the toyhauler's axles. Adjust the spring bars with the toys included when carrying the toys. Then go to the scales and weigh the tongue's percentage of the total trailer's weight.
