Re: Sway with new truck
TyroneandGladys wrote: Just a note on tire pressure. Do not know if it is just the age of our rig or not but the tires max pressure is 80 but the rims max pressure is 65 That sounds like a mismatch - the wheels should always at least match the max pressure of the tires.518Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sway with new truck
Regarding the truck tires, I have now read conflicting information. Some say to inflate the truck tires to the sidewall max, and some say to keep them at the manufacturers recommended pressure. I generally inflate them higher than the recommended when towing, but a little lower than the sidewall max. Regarding the hitch head adjustment, everything appears fine with the new truck - even better actually than the old truck, which always sagged slightly.354Views0likes0CommentsSway with new truck
I have a 27' Salem travel trailer with a Reese WD hitch, and previously towed it with a 2005 Tundra. I would get a little bit of sway on the highway when a big rig would pass, but no big deal. Just bought a 2016 Tundra - bigger and more powerful than the 2005. Nothing changed except the truck - same trailer, WD hitch, etc. - but I am now experiencing sway when anything passes me (even cars and minivans). Any ideas?5.3KViews0likes29CommentsRe: Trailer wheels - 65psi?
Ok, that's what I was afraid of - needing 4 new wheels. So since I may be buying new wheels, is there a better size that I should move to? I am currently running 205/75-15. I've heard that moving to LT tires is the best idea, so maybe this is a good opportunity to do that?377Views0likes0Comments
