Agreed, when I got my Hensley I called to ask about the payload hit, they explained it the same way.

I left a few people hanging last fall after my review and mentioning that I was going to get a Hensley for the 2020 season. Go look at this post for my 11hr pull to Ocean City review https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/new-truck-new-travel-trailer-first-tow-review.12127/ 2019 Setup. Blue...

+1 for Timbergrove, simple clean and functional kit. I've used bags for years for all sorts of different reasons. With the saggy rear end of the Gen 4 and Gen 5 something as simple as a open deck car trailer with my JKU on it can cause more sag than I'm happy with. Nice to level things back...

I vote Jeep, I've got a 16 JKU it's a summer toy for me. Never had a roof or door on other then when it's in winter storage. Even after the JL arrived the JK's still continue to hold their value. I've had a SXS and found myself willing to do dumb things more often than I ever did in the jeep...

Used a Equalizer with my 29' trailer for 5 years. Zero complaints. Used a Blue Ox with my new trailer for 7 days and hated nearly everything about it after the equalizer. Purchased a Hensley but due to covid it's still sitting in the boxes and the trailer in the storage yard.

I went with the Air lift 1000 kit when I first got my Ram. After two leaking bags ( neither replaced under warranty) in 8 months I gave up and installed some Timbergroves. I had some issues with the Canadian vendor of the Timber Groves they shipped me the Ram Classic kit to start and then...

Did you have to raise the trailer while connected to the truck to get the bars in place? I had a similar equalizer and if you didn't raise it up it was very hard to get the bars in place due to the tension. I'd go back over your installation 4000lbs isn't a lot for a WDH so the trailer should...

My TT is 10K lbs 34' in length we pulled it across New York and PA to the Maryland shore last year. No real issues other than getting short of fuel at one point and when it got REALLY windy on the way back the traction control on the truck kept freaking out. Our previous trailer was 29' in...

32' Travel trailer. I have a 19 sport with factory PW folding, heated mirrors. I've never found that I missed something I just keep them turned out so I can see down the side of the trailer.

They won't, I looked into changing mine when I got it last year. The PW folding are actually pretty good I've never felt like I've needed more towing my trailer.

Check out the Anderson WD hitch, a friend of mine uses one for his horse trailer that has a battery box at the front similar to yours. I'd also suggest you put air bags in like the AirRide 1000 system. It's very basic and will help level the truck even with the WD on. It does not increase...

Heading south to Ocean City MD in July again but this year we're leaving the trailer in OC and coming back for it in August and continuing for a week in the NC Outerbanks. All told it will be a 2300km trip. Anything else will be sort stuff to Watkins Glen for some racing.

I used a Blue OX this year and didn't really like it. I used an Equalizer for the previous 4 seasons and much preferred it. I never seemed to find a chain link which gave me the sway mitigation I was used to with the Equalizer. Using a breaker bar and socket did make the tensioning of the...

I'll do a post when I get it all setup and tested in the spring. I don't expect to try it until April but I got the hitch a week ago. Setup doesn't look any more complicated than either the Equalizer or Blue Ox I've used in the past.

I pulled my JKU into storage this past fall on a U-haul trailer. It was horrendous, pulled worse than my camper.

That's the voice of experience, I agree 100%. My Ford pulls that tailer with almost no noise, no fuss at all. My dodge makes some noise, you listen to the Hemi sing from time to time when climbing but it's got more than enough power. I bought the diesel when we had a larger toy hauler my...

It's not that bad, my 2014 F350 SD diesel Ford gets about the same pulling the same weight. It did make for some extra stops to keep the tank above 1/4 tank, my rule when the kids are with me.

Looks great! I'm so glad my sport came that way from the factory.

Trailer was 8480 last time I took it over the scales. I added bags and used a Blue OX WD Sway setup with 14k bars last year which was disappointing when it got windy. I purchased a Hensley Arrow for the upcoming season.
