Hello all!
I just got the new 154BH and want some advices and opinions from the experts like you! Please help!
These are some specs according to the manual. My tow vehicle is 2015 Toyota Sienna.
* 2015 Sienna XLE(FWD) - This comes with towing package from factory
Curb Weight : 4540lbs
GVWR : 5995lbs
GCWR : 8900lbs
Tow Rating : 3500lbs
Passenger : approx. 400lbs
Cargo : approx. 400lbs
Trailer Hitch(Installed) : 42lbs
Anderson Weight Distribution Hitch : 60lbs
* Tire rating
- Max Load : 1874lbs
* Trailer Spec
Shipping Weight : 2740lbs
Hitch Weight: 295lbs
GVWR : 3450lbs
I installed brake controller with P3, trailer hitch (TW:525lbs, GTW:3500lbs), and bought Anderson weight distribution hitch (60lbs)
I searched and tried to calculate based on these numbers, and it looks ok to tow this trailer safely, but want to hear your opinions if the numbers look ok, or it's pretty tight, or anything to add to drive more safe.
Many people recommended to install airbag(air lift), but the hitch installation shop doesn't recommend to install it with Anderson Weight distribution hitch, so didn't include here.
Please help!
