Nice trailer. How does the Armada do in pulling that house? I too tow with an Armada and it is a very capable sure footed workhorse but that is a lot of trailer. 35 feet and 7400 dry is well exceeding the Armada’s capabilities. Sure, it will pull it and with the power and torque of the Armada it will pull it just fine but the length and potentially the weight puts that trailer in ¾ ton land.
Enjoy the trailer!
I realize at that weight the trailer will be approaching the max per the Armada's tow rating (9,000lbs), but curious as to why you say it's exceeding its capabilities? I'm looking at the ProPride hitch system as an option if the sway is unruly, even with the friction sway bar. I'll be taking it out on the road for an evaluation ride in a few days, and will report back.
Good idea on another hitch. When we had a TT (actually several), we went from a 27 to a 32 and just the length caused problems with our then tow vehicle an F250 short bed. We invested in a Hensley Arrow and it made all the difference in the world and for safety too.
