Default Which Tow Vehicle

After trying every
solution I could think of I finally changed the trailer connector to
Al-Ko AKS 1300 Stabilizer, which works by pad pressure to the ball.

Towing is now stable up to the max speed of the vehicle, which with a
6 cylinder engine and trailer in tow is 85. While pricey at $250 for
the connector and special ball coupler it is cheaper than unwrapping
the car/trailer from a tree.


Still cheaper than changing tires and wheels on the trailer or the
4-Runner, buying a new vehicle, or moving the axle back on trailer! And,
as I recall from your article, quite compact and easy to use compared to
the chains and springs of the load distribution solutions.
