/\ Extremely useful advice. Thanks,

Hate to hijack the for sale ad, but just another note my 2012 Caravan does not require the weight distributing hitch.

Also here is what Aluma said about the hitch

"Our tongue wings would have to be changed for that wt dist. hitch, plus beefing up the tongue. Too much wt is transfered to the tongue using that weight distributing hitch. You can actually pick up the rear wheels of a towing vehicle. It makes it hard to make a sharp turn."

The Trailex will not take a weight distributing hitch, I have asked the company and they said that it would tear the front of the trailer off. That was part of the reason for selling my Trailex last year.

There are other ways around this.

Air bags on the rear suspension, etc.


(I wouldn't tow with a caravan anyways without at least adding a transmission cooler, too)
