I tow a 28’ 8000 pound travel trailer with mine. With a wd hitch it rode perfectly level when hitched up.


Hook it up and see. Worst case scenario you will need to add some bags. Easy peasy, though.

 

[Trailmaker]

Yeah it will. The buggy at 2k had a 2” drop at Receiver hitch and the tractor is 4K and it dropped 4-5” at the bumper. One con of the 19 being leveled out. The 2018 had one inch more rake than the 19 does.

I'm not sure on your '19, but my '17 can hook up to my 34-ish ft TT that weighs in at about 7k and I only squat about 2" at the back. Now, that's taking into account that this camper only has about 700 lbs of tongue weight, so it depends on how you load your trailer up. If you load it right where most of the weight is on the trailer axles, you may not squat much at all. Put a lot of weight on the tongue and you'll be in a different ball game.

I do miss the air suspension that I had on my megacab

Pretty simple to add air assist. Then you can have the perks of both.

 

[warwickram]

might have to do that,any suggestions

I went with airlift 5000 bags and daystar cradles (the cradles allow for full travel of the power wagon suspension).

3 years now and going strong. Only thing I would do differently is get onboard air setup with auto fill/deflate setup.

Here is what I did...

Yes your right tongue weight it key. I loaded trailer to help spit the load. I like to feel planted when I tow and not be worried about the trailer swaying. For me it was too light of a load to consider a weight distribution hitch. I finished on board air last week and plan on the bag setup as well.

So, a week has gone by and no pics and info?!

Lol. I uploaded one to the on board air thread. I did not like my iron bracket for my air tank so I’m doing an aluminum one to match my toolbox so I can mount the second 3 gallon tank. oh yeah, there are horns as well.

I will do a build thread soon, as my mods are adding up now.

 

[olyelr]

Oh yea I think I saw those...carry on!
