Mine was the same from the dealer. Best is to level the trailer by making sure the frame is the same height from grade on the front and back. Drop the top of the ball to match that height. If it's not exact then go lower not higher.
Trailer is better slightly nose down not nose high
Load it up like your going to be camping before the next adjustment. Especially if your dry camping and need a full load of water.
Thanks, I thought the trailer still looked tipped up slightly. What you suggested is actually what I ended up doing after dropping it off at local short term storage spot. Haven't hooked up since that adjustment. I will be sure to use tape measure and level to check setup before our first trip in a few weeks. I knew driving it home from dealership that I didn't like the setup, seemed to have a wag to it and once I was parked at home I had a pretty good idea why. It's our first Truck & TT. Prior experience is just our Enclave pulling our 20' ski boat.
Scoops, curious what gears you have in the 2.7 and what your thoughts were pulling it home from the dealer, plenty of power?
Danny Texas,
We have the 2015 SCREW 4x4 with 2.7 EB at 3.55 GR
It seemed to have plenty of power to tow, didn't have any trouble getting up to 70 mph, I stayed closer to 65 on the trip home ( about 18 miles ) since the I was feeling a slight wag from the WD hitch being setup poorly. I've since adjusted my WD hitch and am not expecting that issue any more, but haven't moved the trailer since my latest adjustment. Trailer is around 5600lb dry, rated tow capacity of my 150 should be 7600.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.
Sounds to me like you have the perfect rig for what you're using it for.
Enjoy and report back once you return from your trip and you have logged some miles with the adjusted WD hitch.
Happy Easter!

Not mine but I rented this 31' TT over the weekend.
Looks like way more squat than it should be because of the leveling kit. Got home and aired up the bags to 70 psi and had just a small rear rake. Truck pulled the TT with little effort. If I wanted 70 mph, I got 70, but stayed at 60 to 65. Merging onto traffic was not a problem either.
One thing though the owner told me was that I didn't need the bars for the hitch. Asked If i had Max Tow and when I said yes he said you wont need them.
Trailer was a Conquest by Gulfstream
Truck also has 1.5" spacers on. Checked TQ before picking up the TT and after. Both times they were still at 150 lb. Inspected all spacers and everything is fine.
6580 lb empty
50 lb misc
160 lb 20 gal fresh water
60 lb propane tanks (full)
560 lb family
200 lb bikes and chairs etc (truck bed)

You will need anti sway bars. I took mine (post 4390) on a trip this weekend and sway was bad at times in 20mph winds especially when a semi was passing. It has one sway bar. I am adding the left side sway bar this week and hope that helps.
