Yea I don't have much desire to go the tune route, nor the money

, and I do plan on keeping it as long as possible.
I took the trailer out today with the new Anderson hitch, and that thing is rock solid. NONE of the bucking and chucking, my others hitches had. My "test" road is about a 30 mile loop, and 10 of it is on our country road. It has all sorts of undulations and pressure ridges in it that usually made for a very clunky trip to the freeway. Not today. I can honestly say I have never towed anything that felt so smooth behind me.
I was on cloud 9 until I got home and was testing it for front corner to truck cab clearance. I was so focused on the cab and rear window, I almost completely over looked the fact that the pin box was climbing on top of the drivers side of the bed. Arrgggggggg!!!!
I was not a happy camper, not happy with myself at all.
Fortunately about 90% of the damage, I have fixed and the other 10% doesn't show on the outside. It was all my fault. What happened was when I installed it, I made sure there was enough clearance to clear the tailgate. I had that issue in the other truck. So thinking all was ok, I proceeded on. The problem, was the kingpin adapter puts the pin box back about 4" and that 4 inches was more than enough to make it contact the drivers side bed rail. Live and learn, good grief.
At least there are two positions I can put the kingpin adapter in, and so I reversed it. This gave MORE than enough clearance for the pin box, so now, instead of the king pin being 4" back, it's 4" forward, so I have to watch the rear cab very closely.
Here's some pics of it at max position
And one of the rig in a straight line.
I'm going to build something to warn me when I come too close to the cab before I whack that thing too. On a good note, now that I am a bit more comfortable with the truck itself, I am simply amazed at how powerful this truck really is. That combined with that Allision 6spd is an unbelievable combo.
I had no idea what I was missing, towing with the Toyota. Not to knock that truck, kept in it's realm of capabilities, that was the most reliable truck I have ever owned. Seven years and 60,000 miles and not one single problem that ever required a repair, by me or the dealer. I know 60K isn't a lot of miles in the big scheme of things, but not many trucks can make those claims. At least they didn't used to. Hopefully that is changing.
