    2010 Heartland North Trail Ultralite. It does really well since my truck has gotten heavier. I put Silent Armor tires which are heavier than stock, plus i put gear in the bed so sway is reduced. I also have weight distribution bars and a sway bar as well. So at 65mph I feel it alot less.

    Good to see someone towing a long trailer. Up there a way I was soliciting opinions about towing a 32' boat. It would be about the same dimensions and weight as your trailer. I got a bit worried that the trailer would have too much influence and that the truck would be thrown around a bit.

    What's the reasoning behind the heavier tires - just more weight in the truck?

    The heavier the truck gets the more stable it feels pulling the trailer. I noticed the truck moves around less when i get passed by tractor trailers.

    Dude, how is that on hills or mountains? You are about maxed out there. I'm concerned with a 20 footer at 4200lbs dry weight and traveling 40 up into Tennessee. I've driven V8's for 12 years and this will be my first time towing with a V6. I have to admit I'm a little intimated by the size of the truck vs the camper; but seeing your rig, gives me confidence. I'm going down to NC this Saturday to pick up my camper. I'll definitely take pictures and post them up. LOL.

    Here's a quick pic: [​IMG]

    I picked it up in Indiana so I drove it through some elevations on the way back. It didnt seem all that bad. The truck has the power to pull up a grade so i was freaked at all. My previous setup was a diesel dually silverado and a 37 ft 5th wheel. I felt that trailer back there even with the 1 ton truck pulling it. To me they feel the same going up a grade. Both pulled strong with the weight they have.
