Hello , I dont know if this helps but I had the same talk from my socal Dealer when I was buying . I had to finance through them to get rebates, What I have done is financed with them with a higher rate and closed the loan in 1 month.
maybe you can finance with them ,refinance with your bank...
I am glad you replied I was looking for an excuse to follow up with this thread. Things I learned
If you over do weight distribution hitch your ride becomes softer but you are more susceptible for sway
Putting heavy things on the back of the truck effects sway more than I expected, try to...
Thanks for this Thread , I ordered Sumo and they are arriving tomorrow. I am looking to do anything to eliminate sway as much as possible . I have an 25 ft Airstream 4700 lbs empty but airstreams are notoriously tongue heavy so I am guessing 800 lbs (will take it to Cat after setting up...
The hitch is very interesting, even though the ball is very far away from the truck it doesnt turn on the ball, The ball is fixed to the hitch and the front section of the hitch (orange piece) acts as a turning point(ball?) , Still further than traditional setup but not too much,

I honestly dont know, I have been told with good weight distribution hitch airstreams are the easiest to pull with smaller (!) tow vehicles . If anyone who has more experience with towing a long gig behing gladiator please let me know
Mine is 1998 Safari 25 , it is 5 K dry because it is widebody. There are couple of factors for determining the weigt of an airstream , I have seen 1970s 28-30 ft airstreams weights less than mine, couple of things you should care :
The type and year of airstream, safari, agnosy, excella etc...
Hi All,
Newbie tower here, I found our dream airstream and bought it last week , towed to our home wout brake controller (I know it is dangerous , It was in shipment)
My hitch is a little weird it is an hensley hitch which has a fixed receiver that you cant adjust height, I have one straight...
Thanks for the all responses !!
I am going exact same dimensions both rims and wheels, IT might add some weight in wheels but I am guessing they will be similar to sport s wheels
Hi ,
It might be a dumb question but I dont know anything about towing. I bought gladiator to tow an 5K airstream. It is max tow sport S .
My truck is black but rims are grey, I dont want to lift and I dont do off-road so I want to be comfortable in highway. If I buy tires and rims like this...
