Hi All!
My setup is a 2019 XLT with HD tow, 4x4 and I recently added load E tires on 18" F-150 wheels.
Camping season is on the horizon and we bought this truck specifically to tow our travel trailer around the mountains of UT. Trailer weight fully loaded is about 4,200, it's single axle so tongue weight is pretty high despite the relatively light weight of the trailer- 600 lbs+. I have no worries about the Expy's ability to tow the TT- we used to tow with a V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee with no problems- but I'd like it to be as balanced as possible. We will use an Anderson WDH which will help with leveling for sure but should I also be considering SumoSprings? I see them mentioned a lot on the forum (@BLUWAGN @sjwhiteley) and in this thread about adaptive suspension (which I do not have) https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/adaptive-suspension-and-towing.44591/page-3#post-417917
How do they impact normal driving or light offroading (we spend a lot of time on nasty desert forest roads)? Any other considerations?
