  1. I have the anderson wdh and i think it is great. Although I don't find it weighs any less than my friends reese wdh with sway control on it the only part that would weigh less is the fact I don't have the bars to deal with. My trailer is a 26' so it is a little larger than yours desertted. one thing you could do is get yourself one of those little wagons from walmart that fold right up like a camping chair. then you only have to lift the hitch on and off and not try to lift it ten times to put it on. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=folding%20wagon&cat_id=0&typeahead=wagon


  2. I have a commercial Class 1 licence and I agree that some of the things I have seen on the FB page are a little scary some are really pushing the limits of their NV my little trailer compared to others is a great size for many places including most campsites that can't accommodate trailers more than 28' my trailer is a 26' and well within the towing capacity of my NV. I used to have my LCV licence and could tow 2 53' trailers and could weigh a maximum GVW 140000LBS but of coarse you have to be licenced for a regular tractor trailer for a minimum of 3 years before you can get your LCV licence and have to take other courses as well. I also think it is crazy that some new pickups have a towing capacity of 30000LBS I have seen what happens to a pickup when they have to slam on the brakes and try to control that kind of weight or get into an accident and hit a tractor trailer because they ran a light because they couldn't stop. the pickup truck got bent into a upside down u shape because the trailer kept pushing after they hit the tractor trailer 


  3. I had this problem too I thought it was my slider too it turned out to be my rear doors that needed to be adjusted. Did you get your problem fixed. I had to take my van back to the dealer 4 times to get this fixed as they thought the same thing as me that the noise was coming from the sliding door but eventually they had another van with the same problem and they had someone ride in the very back and then they knew what was wrong with mine and fixed it. 


  4. It sounds like you may have the same problem that Dodge and Fords have known as the "Death wobble" or at least the start of it. It sounds like you are on the right track on getting it fixed the next thing i would check out is your front sway bar bushings and see of they are worn. I will post a couple of links about the death wobble and how to fix it and a video on how to fix it.

  5. I heard something from the salesman at my dealership is changes are due in 2021 so i would think that is when you will see the longer version and the diesel and i wouldn't be worried about getting it as it has been out for years already and toyota is going to use the exact same engine and transmission in the tundra as well so that should tell you a lot about the engine. 


  6. Are you looking for a constant power source for the amp? If so I would run a wire right from the battery those things need more power than you would think. How many watts is the amp because you should use at least a 12 gauge wire if it is a small amp. That goes for the ground for the amp too.


  7. if the bully dog tuner flashes the emc then you should be able to remove it and those changes are still in the ecm right because that what flashing the ecm means that it reprograms the original setting with there not just try to trick the computer that

    you will notice in this last article it says nothing about flashing the computer. when I watch shows like horsepower tv and they flash the computer it is just something they attach to the car do a download to it and unplug it. 


  8. I think I paid 150 for the dual screen dvd player that just hangs on the headrests and only a 7" screen so 350 doesnt seem so bad and I'm pretty sure I could install it myself as I am pretty good with that stuff, as far as a backup camera I don't miss it as I'm a truck driver so backing up with mirrors isn't nothing new to me I have even parallel parked my van with my trailer behind it. 


  9. To make it easier and not hack up the factory wiring you can buy an aftermarket stereo and get the wiring harness adapter that just plugs in to your original harness and then gives you instructions on how to wire to your new head unit and then you can just run rca cables to the sub woofer and a power and remote wire for it too i would run the main power wire for the subwoofer from the battery and make it a heavier gauge wire. hth


  10. I was just reading on the titan forum and one guy said he had his titan dynod before and after a bdgt and it acually lost him power i can see the wot at the start making a difference but other than that i would go with the type of programmer that flashes the ecm like the uprev to make a difference.
