WD suggestions

[joehbus]

I am purchasing a 199ML and picking it up this week. I am towing with a 2006 F150 with the 5.4 liter. I own a classic Mustang and tow a car trailer with the same rig and never have any issues, and this trailer is significantly lighter so I'm not expecting any issues, other than my mirrors are too short! It looks like the tongue weight is under 400 lbs, what are some opinions on using me weight distribution set up? I don't normally use it on my empty car trailer, but DO use it when the trailer is loaded. 400 lbs isn't too heavy but I wasn't sure if I should still use it or just pop it onto the ball and go.

Regardless if you need it or not, it is best to always use one. You already have one so your not out any money and for just a couple minutes more to hook up and unhook, the insurance of having one is well worth the time.

I had a 238ML which is very similar. The tongue weight will be more than 400 when you have added a battery, propane and cargo. I would add a WD hitch.

Ooo, I had not considered the tanks or the battery, thanks!

x2^^^ Us a WD hitch. Towing a car trailer in a heavy cross wind is nothing like towing a slab sided trailer.
