One of the last trips of 2015 up to Warren Dunes State park with my new to me 1993 Prowler 30r. Can't wait for it to warm back up.

Rented the garage style toyhauler for the weekend. Great layout and the truck towed it great. 800 miles round trip and average 10mpg.

Nice rig! Are you running stock tires on your truck? I'm curious what you inflated the front and rears to when towing that trailer. I'm looking at a similar trailer as far as weight and length is concerned.

What weight distributing hitch do you use?

Stock tires for now. Kicking around putting a level/lift and wheels and tires on it. Kept pressures stock. And my WDH is a Husky Centerline TS. I like it because you can back up without unhooking it like some. Definitely need an electric jack as it's lowered to hook to the ball then raised to hook up the bars then lowered again to raise the jack lol

Surprised the stock Michelins aren't sagging more at stock PSI. You feel like it toes your rig well? Feels solid?

Yeah. Plenty of power. Sway is minimal. Very solid pulling it. 65 in 6th on the interstate. Can pull 75 but drops down to 5th more.
