    My Tekonsha is mounted on the bottom of the steering column. I'm 5'10 but haven't banged my knees on it yet getting in or out. I'm thinking about mounting the Prodigy in the the dash right side of the steering wheel by the little cubby hole, with some fabrication.

    This is my new 2010 Ultralite Rockwood 2701SS. Picked it up in Albany, NY from New Brunswick, Canada. Got it with my 2006 DC LWB Tacoma. It has the towing package. Dry weight of 5000lbs. Plan on doing very short trips (less than 50 miles each way) during the Summer months and no water in it so should keep it under 5800lbs. Pulled great but you know it's there. Hopefully, everything will go good this Summer. I habe the predogy, torsion control and sway bars. I will just take it slowly. It's not a marathon!!

    For all of you who are useing your trucks for hauling, and have sag issues. A Great improvement is a set of TIMBREN Load Bearing BumpStops, combined with new HEAVY DUTY Shocks! The New OME or the Bilstein 5100s work great with the Timbrens. Please check out our site for more info! And call for special pricing!

    Pulled this load on Friday from Atlanta, GA back to Huntsville, AL (200 miles). On the trailer: 3 Honda Ranchers, 1 Polaris Sportsman, 1 50cc ATV (on top). And a Honda Recon in the bed. The Tacoma pulled it just fine, no problems.

    Nice toys! Did your trailer come with the folding trailer tongue jack or did you buy it and put it on? My trailer has a solid mount and it keeps me from folding my tailgate down with the trailer attached, so I'd like to switch to the type of jack you have.

    Thanks. I"m an ATV dealer, and this was the load of bikes I picked up at Auction this week.

    The trailer came equipped like that. It's an echo ATV trailer, has ramps that you can slide anywhere along the side rails, and drive on/off the sides. Yeah, the folding jack allows me to haul the trailer with the tailgate down. I was nervous around the first few curves at first, but it has plenty of clearance.

    Ok so its called a funfinder xtra 205. It weighs in at 3995 empty and is 6300 gvwr. The nice part about it is that although its 8' wide, its only 8'9" high and pulls very nice. By the whole kitchen is a slide and has a 50 inch door with a dove tale. The only thing I don't like about it is that its 725 lbs on the tounge but with the load distributing hitch, I am still 1" from bump stops. I did just order the firestone ride rites and that should help. If you google funfinder xtra 205 for sale, there will be a couple of photos. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Here is my 06 Sport hooked up to our Wildwood X-lite 26BH travel trailer. It weighs just under 4000 pounds. Had it and the truck full with an extra 1200 pounds when we did our cross country move from FL to WA state. Truck did amazing. Equalizer Hitch and brake controller only necessary items.
