Are there "load" settings for when hauling a heavy trailer, or is it just based on fuel type/tiresize/etc?

There is a towing preloaded tune as well as advanced tuning so you can make fine adjustments. The preloaded tunes are 91 octane, towing, 87 octane and mileage XS.

There is just a preprogrammed haul setting. I have a 03 dodge ram with 35's. When towing my 6x12 enclosed trailer in drive, it would shift from 3 to 2 all the time. Installing the tow setting it has more power and doesn't down shift like that anymore. Truck has a little bit better mpg's when towing.

Weight distribution equipment is used to help level the trailer load in relation to the hitch. When a hitch is much higher than the ball receiver it will cause the trailer to be higher in front and lower in the back. This causes the rear of the trailer to scrap the ground and put stress on the vehicle due to hauling the load at an incorrect angle. When properly leveled the trailer will be easier to haul for the vehicle. This equipment becomes more important with higher weight classes, however it is not totally dependent on weight. You can stop by a Uhaul and they can explain in greater detail.

Yes, you will use a little more gas but it all depends on how heavy your foot is. I find that it has more pickup so I can usually keep my foot off the accelerator so the trade off of power to mileage is not that bad.

I use it on a 04 Tahoe w/ 5.3.... I run the performance program most of the time because it seems to have the best mileage and performance overall.. I did run the mileage program recently on a 800 mile trip and I got about 2 mpg better than the Performance program, but the responsiveness was definitely not there. for any type of towing use the tow setting.. I've tried towing even a light trailer with a couple of quads and I get a check engine light.. When you scan for codes it shows a lean fuel code for whatever reason.. Never had that happen with the Tow program..

No problem at all as the hardware is attached to the frame rails and hangs below the frame rails. My trailer weighs about 6,000 loaded and I compress the bushing to 2.6 inches and that is perfect for my set-up. Once you get yours dialed in you will love it. Very easy to hook up, no sway control to disconnect when backing in and it is silent as well. I bought a ratchet wrench to adjust the nuts and it works very well. Enjoy!!

We used one of these for a heavy duty trailer, cant remember the tire size now but it was big. Worked fine but... its not the strongest material and I am waiting for it to give. My vehicles do spend a lot of time in serious off road conditions, that is why I worry. If this is for normal use, you will be fine.

Hi Jun,These were developed and tested to exceed the maximum load rating of any RV tire rating. A load rating would be subjective to the manner in which it is loaded. Levelness of terrain, area of jack foot, hardness/softness of terrain, etc. Because these are used in such varying conditions there is no "one size fits all" load rating that we can apply.

To adequately answer your question more information is needed like size and load of trailer and what type of vehicle it is going on, so i can not provide a absolute yes or no but it should take away some sagging in theory. As for the one i put on it lifted my back end about 1.5-2 inches empty and then handle the load better.

It's actually "D" Load Range, but that was ok with my particular application. I haul a 2008 Jayco Baja Popup Off Road Camper with the one cargo platform. I 4x4 up a River Wash with large rocks and have never had a problem. Not sure how it would apply to hauling a 5th wheel trailer....

It is pretty heavy and we didn't have any problem with movement. Have long bed dodge towing 30ft travel trailer.

It is per tire. The combined load rating of all tires on the trailer should exceed the loaded weight of the trailer by at least 20%.

Due to varying loads i don't "air up" the bags until hitched up. That way I can set the level of the truck as required. Personal preference only but honestly I doubt it matters in the big scheme of things. You will however want to "air up" prior to driving otherwise you could damage the bags from bottoming out. That is why the bags have a minimum inflation of 5psi. Hope this helps

I have the system In my truck and can inflate to 80 psi if needed. I never go over 60 psi.that amount of pressure makes the ride super stiff

I pull an enclosed 16 foot trailer that is 9' 6" tall from the ground to top. the trailer weighs 2100 pounds and it work good for me. I pull mine with a Chevy express van. Just remember only snug it up not to tight. You just want it to have a little friction. If to tight you will have issues.

I pull a 20' camper with my 2012 Tacoma. The trailer weighs approx. 3500 lbs. The controller provides smooth reliable breaking. It is also easy to adjust. I highly recommend it.

The weight limit is not listed on the units. I did place them under 2 of my 4 tires and it works. Basically, my trailer fully loaded would be 12,000 lbs divided by 4 is 3,000 lbs.
