    Hello, 1st trip with Jayco154bh and Tacoma 4cl. 4wd. Have a Curt hitch (7500/750 2") and serving online for sway bar vs stabilizer bars vs wdh. Too much info to sift thru. Sway bars or wdh do not seem essentials, but stab. bar system is recommended...if any?
    Thank you and happy Mem. Day weekend.

    I would absolutely want a sway bar setup if towing that; it's going to catch a lot of wind and want to toss you around with every truck that passes.

    If you were going to stick to back roads (55 and less), it may be less of an issue, but I would not want to take it on the highway without one.

    I don't have the manual in front of me, but the Tacoma recommends a sway bar over a certain weight, maybe 2000? That trailer is definitely over the threshold, whatever it is.

    I'd also add, plan on slowing down, keep the transmission out of overdrive, and get comfortable with high revs (although I understand the 2.7 is pretty comfortable revving).
