Towing Question

[Mediamonkey11]

If you plan on towing often enough, then it may be worthit! Actually, you only have to do one differential so I'd prolly do it lol

Lol is it a fairly simple task to do by myself or do I need to take it somewhere? I don't plan on towing it often it's mainly for me to take it to my job (plant I work at) then back home so 2 times in a month maybe

for now you might want to stay with the 3.31 and then see how it does with the tuner set up and whatever trailer you go with. you can always change the gears if needed and being your in Houston you may not have many hills to worry about but that all depends on where you will traveling

Yeah I travel the US for work so there will be hills I encounter in the future. Now another question would y'all bother putting trailer sway bars as well?

When you get the trailer get a weight distribution hitch with the sway control built in. I have been using the Reese Dual cam HP hitch on 2 trailers over the last 10+ years. The first was a 29' and now we have a 30'.

Cool that's what I'll look for but with that combo it doesn't sway much?

I also have a question, because I don't understand what it means. What is consider the tongue weight?

 

[BIG GREEN FORD]

It is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle

 

[Bedrck47]

it reality it is the weight the coupler (tongue) of the trailer places on the ball of the hitch hence the word tongue weight
