Picked up a TT toy hauler today - pic
Weekend Warrior 3000 RKD - 33' w/separate garage.
I have v-codes and ProComp MX6 shocks on it already. Kool Vue towing mirrors and rear sway bar should be here this week. Hoping to find some used b-codes this weekend and will install Landyot Radius Rods and springs at the same time. Need new bumpstops all around and a few other things to get this thing to tow better. I already miss the 5ver...
(for sale btw

Nice rig
Wow, what a toy hauler! Nice. A triple axle bumper pull must gross out at about 15,000# ? My 31' TT grosses 10,500# and if the tongue weight is not just right it's a b***h to tow.
I just pulled mine to an MX race nearby in Heflin AL at AMPMX and it towed much better coming home than going. I think the forward holding tanks being full made all the difference.
Which WD hitch do you have? The rear of the EX looks a little low, like it needs more tension on the hitch. I've never pulled a toy hauler but it looks like the axles are farther back to carry the load in the garage without sending the tongue weight too far out of whack (too light).

Thanks for the kind words y'all. Yes, its a lil low in back unloaded w/250k mile stock leafs in back and fresh v-codes up front...
GWR for trailer is 13k lbs - allegedly
9k empty. I'll go over the scales in a bit.
Tows ok, a little tail waggy - but predictable/not scary. Wind was BLOWIN' yesterday too!

That sucka is huge!! 10-11 mpg is what I see towing 6k. I might need to upgrade trailers to a much larger heavier one. That way I will feel better about getting crappy mileage. OT i'm here monitoring a virtual weigh in motion scale on the highway and a 5'er and a dually just passed by just shy of 26K. W0W!

Very nice trailer.
It does look low in the front. I just bought a 35' bunkhouse Sabre trailer with 1300lbs tongue. With the v/b springs and the propride 3p hitch the rear is only down 1.25". The propride 3p hitch will cure any sway problems but is expensive. I found a lightly used 1.5yr old hitch for about half price. I just towed 2200 miles and it worked excellent in all conditions (bad roads, wind, semis). Absolutely no sway. It mimicks a fifth wheel by projecting the weight forward toward the rear axle.
