I can't believe anyone would even attempt a pull like that. Obviously a load like that is way over the limits of what that Hilux should be subjected to. And then people will be like "I have no idea why the tranny let loose. Temps never went over 385!"

Seriously though, what kind of mileage are you seeing out of that KW with your boss's fiver on the back?

😄 Truthfully I don't even pay attention to the fuel mileage. I just hook up and enjoy driving around with nothing on.

Great guys, this is what i wanted to hear, okay so now let me ask this, my fiver is 37' and when i bought my Strongarms it also came with enough hardware to do my back Jack's, so do I really need to put them on the back? My fiver is a 2019 Jayco Eagle 321RSTS, so this will give you an idea on what I have.

So I guess that I want need the king pin stabilizer either, you think, I haven't taken my fiver out since I installed the front stabilizer Strongarms so I don't fully know?

On my bumper pull trailer I have the JT Strongarms on both front and rear stabilizer jacks. The rears have only one arm and the fronts have two arms. I still get a bit of wiggle at the back of the trailer and I think it's because there is only one arm on each jack.

Hmm, okay HRTKD, thank you I will have to see when I use it hopefully sometime in April but in the meantime I will keep them close. This is mines when I install them, sorry for the mess in my front storage but I had to take all of it out first, it went pretty good once I figure out how to put stall the front jacks.
