    I love my Tundra. I don't use it to tow this unit because I question the weight applied to rear axle along with all of the other stuff I put back there. Plenty of power though!

    If it were a Ford, I would say just make sure you tow it downhill... hehe

    You wouldn't have a problem with it.

    Thats good to know. May I ask specifically what aspect of the towing experience improved with the larger hitch?

    I guess the best answer is why send a boy to do a man`s job! the trailer does not bounce hardly at all over rough roads and handles so much better and responsive to the tow vehicle with or without a lot of weight in the tt.

    Excellent answer. I have the 10k version. Mine will bounce like a tijuana strip joint on the right interstate. I may look at upgrading.

    I tow ours with a F250 6.2L diesel / equalizer hitch. It tows well at 60 mph or less. We moved up from an Outdoors RV 27bh model and felt the difference in length and weight.

ID:	3613 i got my 308 BHTS and tow with my 2007 tundra. Tows very nice and stops well. No sway with a properly adjusted equalizer 12k standard (not E2) though i only get 8 MPG looking forward to some long hauls. Especially outside of CA wgere the towing speed limit is 55 MPH.

    We are looking into purchasing the 308 BHTS, upgrading from a 2001 Jayco Kiwi 23b. Tow vehicle is a 2014 Ford F-150 4x2, 145" wheelbase, Ecoboost. It has the Max Trailer Tow, 7400 GVWR package and 3.73 gears. I have many years of towing experience (cargo and 5th wheel). Anyone tow this trailer with same vehicle? Any advice or opinions on TV handling this TT? Too much trailer? Thanks in advance.....Jason
