Note to CWIT and Kjones. Noriced you are pilling with Tundras. We are pulling with a 2009 5.7 using a curt slider and firestone airbags with good results. Wondered how yours handle. We were surprised with the tight turn radius and have yet to use the slider. Still might feel more comfortable mountain pulling with a diesel though.

I am verry happy with the handeling and towing of my truck. I can set my cruise on 62 and it will hold it no matter where I go.

I'm very happy with the Tundra. I alsoinstalledFirestone airbags and have aReese Slider hitch. Traveled several hundred miles and haven't had to use the slider. Just returned form Knoxville, TNand had noproblemspullingthe hills. Kept the speed between 60 and 65mph with 8.5 - 9.5 miles per gallon. I'mseriously considering either a Mor ride or Demco pin box. What model is your fifth wheel?

Yikes...the 30SK is a heavy unit for a 7200GVW truck. The pin weight has got to be 1,000lbs over the payload capacity. Not trying to start anything...I just know my 31QB works my 2500HD pretty good and makesit squat a bit.
