Upgraded TV!
Just took the 'new' tow vehicle and trailer for a test run.
Upgrade is a relative term. We've gone from a 2009 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab Long Bed to a 2003 Ford F-350 with a dumping flatbed.
What we lost in creature comforts was more than replaced by control!
The 19RD would 'argue' with the Taco: When something big passed us, we could feel the pressure wave work its way up the trailer.
NOT ANY MORE! Whatever the F-350 does, the trailer follows. No arguments, no shoving the truck's frame through the hitch!
Just a few tweaks needed to get things right. The brake controller and I have yet to reach a consensus. It's a bit slap-happy and turning it down just gives less overall stopping power. Maybe if I read the directions....
I'll have to see about setting the cruise control to be a bit more responsive. It lets the rig slow down too much when starting a hill.
The loudest noise at highway speeds is a wind whistle from the antenna.
All in all it is so worth it!!!
