Thanks mbutts. That's concerning. Were you using a weight distribution hitch? Anyone else experience this or not experience this with a 6000+ lb trailor?
Weight distribution hitch or not, a 10yr old Expy will probably not be a comfortable tow vehicle for the weight your considering. Now you can do the upgrades to help for sure, and it will. I'd say at a minimum upgrade trans cooler, LT tires, probably new shocks (highly recommended the Bilstein shocks BTW), maybe some enhancements to the rear suspension, and as you already know, a quality properly set up WDH. But just remember that the Expy was built to ride well and be a ok tow vehicle, towing heavy (even with modifications) just isn't it's strong suit. Think of the tail wagging the dog saying that I'm afraid your gonna experience. And it's obvious by your post that safety and towing comfortably is important to you, as it should be. I'm just afraid that even after the mods with anything at all over 6500#'s or so your not gonna be happy.
Best of luck to you either way!
