With the Tacoma sport you are pretty close to capacity with that setup sorry I didn’t realize how light the tongue was
Whatever you do, check youtube for trailer sway. That will encourage you to make sure your tongue weight and weight distribution is proper. It will also help you decide not to speed. ????
I have the same trailer, tongue weight is about 550 lb. dry. I know the main storage is up front, but do what you can to distribute weight evenly.
Enjoy your new 1500 pickup in your future ????
In all seriousness the instructions for your weight distribution hitch should have details for how to ensure your hitch height is correct and then how to measure the front wheel wells with and without the WDH. That’s the only way to make sure you’re set correct.
Air bags are a wonderful, easy fix.
I dont’ know this for certain, but I wonder if a Anti-Sway or Equalizer hitch would be beneficial?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see (now) that you have a hitch. Awesome!
EDIT2: It’s rad you came here to ask too!
Hey op. Gongrats on the camper. I’ve recently started towing a camper too and went through some learning curve. Your wds definitely needs tweaks. AFAIK there are 2 ways to adjust them: when the bars are on and you tight them more or during the hitch assembly. Once you figure out and adjust the wds, look into air springs (or airbags) to mitigate the rest of the squat. Squat is not only bad for your driving experience and safety, but you’ll also blind other drivers in the dark. Here’s a guide from Airlift about wds with air springs: https://www.airliftcompany.com/workshop/weight-distribution-bars-air-springs/
Good luck and happy camping!
