Well, I'm pretty excited today cause my new cargo trailer came in to my dealer.
8.5 x 20 setup as a "poor mans" toyhauler.
I will be towing with my 2000 Expy 5.4 in my sig. I figure I will be near 6000 lbs gross counting passengers and gear in the trailer. That is at my max tow rating according to my owners manual with 3.55 axle ratio.
Trailer is listed at 2900 curb weight and hitch weight of 290 lbs. I am guessing I will double that hitch weight when I have gear in the trailer even though I try to balance my load as best I can.
The dealer said they can get me this WD setup fully installed including road test and a follow up test when I have the trailer fully geared up. All of this for $239.99 turnkey. Bars, stinger, ball the whole shebang included in the price.

I cant remember if it is the round or trunnion bar system. Is this brand and system any good?
It does not have sway control though. I had a 16' trailer of the same make before and used just a ball only now WD or anything. Never had a bit of problems. Stress free pulling.
Do I need sway control? I could always go with this. I have used EZ-Lifts version with good success in times past. Its a basic way of accomplishing sway control but it worked for me.
