2025 Toyota Tundra owner reports trailer sway with Grand Design Imagine

A Georgia owner of a 2025 Toyota Tundra reported highway sway while towing a large Grand Design Imagine travel trailer, despite using a mechanical equalizer hitch. He sought advice from the 2023-2027 Toyota Tundra Owners Facebook group about upgrading to the Lippert CURT True Course electronic anti-sway system. The issue stems from the half-ton truck's coil-spring rear suspension lacking lateral stiffness and the passive nature of friction-based hitches, which cannot counteract sudden lateral forces from crosswinds or passing trucks.

Toyota Tundra Platinum Hybrid With Factory 3-Inch Lift Tows Coachmen Apex Nano

Owner Gerald Perea demonstrated towing a 2026 Coachmen Apex Nano 186BH travel trailer with a GVWR of 4,700 lbs and a length of 22 ft 11 in using a 2025 Toyota Tundra Platinum TRD Off-Road Hybrid with a factory 3-inch lift and i-FORCE MAX powertrain (437 hp, 583 lb-ft). The setup succeeds because the trailer's weight and dimensions stay within the truck's payload margin, not its maximum tow rating. The trailer lacks a slide, reducing weight and frontal area, and a properly sized 6,000-lb weight-distribution hitch maintains stability.

Three Tow Vehicles Tear Front Cap Off Stuck Motorhome in Utah

In Utah, a Class A motorhome stuck in soft sand was towed by three vehicles simultaneously, causing the entire front cap—including headlights and dash assembly—to tear off. Footage by Anthony Joseph Pascarella garnered over 123,000 likes within two days.
