Re: Welcome to the New Towing and Hauling Forum!

I have the 2004 SE CC w/o BT so I do not have the extendable mirrors. I am going to but the factory BT mirrors and was wondering if anyone out there had ever changed them out? I looked for a thread on this but could not find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Remove the door panel.. It's a piece of cake once you've had to do it a few times...

Re: Welcome to the New Towing and Hauling Forum!

Someone hit me up with a PM if you don't mind walking me through some basic towing info. All I've towed before is a boat or two. I've got an '06 king cab 4x4 SE with the towing package and I'm looking at getting a 7k# trailer to tow when I move cross country. I need some academics on basic towing stuff (hitches, weight distro and anti-sway) and figured this would be a good place to ask what I need to get. Just towing to move right now, not an everyday thing so I don't want to break the bank with a gucci setup. I just want to make sure I cover all the bases. Thanks in advance...

Re: Welcome to the New Towing and Hauling Forum!

7k should be manageable without sway or air bags but I would still add at least one of the two for such a long haul. The hitch is the easiest to add. Equal-i-zer is a popular brand. Get a brake controller installed.

Just remember don't overload your trailer. If its a 7k enclosed then it probably weighs ~3k so you can haul 4k worth of stuff inside, secure the load so it doesn't shift. Keep the tires in the trailer aired up to the correct PSI.

have fun and hammer down

Where ya moving from/too?

BTW I have an 06 CC with Big Tow. I pull a 28' enclosed trailer with my Ftoy inside. And this is my 15th post so I can hopefully post links pictures now.

Re: Welcome to the New Towing and Hauling Forum!

I tow a 23 foot front sleeper weekend warrior toybox. It weighs about 8500 loaded and my only complaint is not having air bags. I have a weight distributer and It is a must. The truck has tons of power to tow it but the bed of the truck rocks slightly once in a while. So Igure air bags of a thicker sway bar would help.

I tow the same trailer, and the air bags work great!!! But make sure your hitch is set-up correctly first. Which W/D hitch do you have?

Pre Air Bags..
