    Finally received my forest river Wolf pup black label RV, dry weight 3100ish. Hooked up to 2018 taco trd sport 4 door long bed 6 cylinder with tow package.
    . First trip seemed a bit "bounced". Much different than my old 2000 tundra with jayco Pop-up.
    I should be fine towing this weight, right?

    Yes, you can try simple things like pumping up the rear tires to 40psi, but it wont quite compare to a tundra, even the older smaller tundras.

    If you really want stability look at load distributing hitches, or stiffen ther rear suspension with air bags, bump stop helpers or add-a-leaf spring.

    It's called "porpoiseing."

    A few things help.

    • Take a hard look at your tongue weight and make sure it's within 12- 15% of the wet weight. You'd be surprised how quickly batteries and propane adds up.
    • Weight distribution hitch.
    • Suspension helpers. An add a leaf, airbag, or Roadmaster active suspension.
