Calendar Event: Anti-Sway bars Posted: 28 Aug 2014 at 9:27am |
Yes, you will be fine.
We're planning a trip to the west coast, and some friends and fellow podders who've made that trip suggested that due to potential high crosswinds we might want to add a single sway bar before crossing the mountain ranges between there and Michigan. Cost for the sway bar and hitch adapter plate was $70 delivered from eTrailer. We've never had any serious issues with a simple bumper hitch, but after installing the sway bar, the wiggle we got in the occasional crosswind or when being passed by a semi has been eliminated. So depending on where you plan to tow, this may be something you want to consider. With your vehicle a weight distribution hitch shouldn't be needed. I don't have one on my pickup.

You are well within your tow vehicle weight limits. It will really depend on your towing experience and comfort level.
Happy Podding!!

I've got a 2011 Ford Explorer with a towing package and 6,800 pound towing capacity. Do I need anti-sway bars and a different hitch installed like the R Pod dealer recommended?
