Need advice on this setup please!

Hey all just wanted to leave an update here for those searching on towing with a Liberty. Well we finally picked up the TT and got it equipped with a Prodigy trailer brake and an Equalizer weight distribution hitch and anti-sway system. We towed to back from the California coast to Northern Cal about a total of 6 hours mostly on I5. I could definitely tell the trailer was back there. Sway was minimal even being passed by big rifs hauling down the interstate. Had no problems stopping or maneuvering, even in a downpour. The main problem is the power. I averaged 11 mpg which I thought was OK, but in the end the Liberty was working way too hard for me to be comfortable with. Anything with a slight grade would have me drilling the engine at 4500 rpm. This is a 2800 pound trailer... The 5000 pound rating is very generous and would have to be something with almost no drag unless you want to blow an engine.

Despite the Liberty, we loved RVing, stayed over the night and ate dinner in a rest stop so we weren't about to give up on the idea. I ended up trading my Wrangler in today for a new Sierra 1500 with max tow package and will be hitting the road this week. I know I will have much greater peace of mind knowing the 5.3 is barely breaking a sweat.

Summary: if you must tow with a Liberty, stick to a popup. Anything that introduces drag will really work the already very un-aerodynamic rig.
