Suspension Enhancement For a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Towing a 2022 inTech Flyer Pursue Camping Trailer

Question:

I recently bought a 2022 Intech Flyer Pursue trailer. I have the Curt C13416 hitch installed on my 2019 Rav4 Adventure. I am looking for guidance on Weight distribution hitch. The max tongue weight of the Rav is 350. The GVWR of the trailer is 2200 which I believe means the tongue weight should be right around 330 lbs. The specs of the trailer say the tongue weight is max 325. I am also looking at the air lift spring helpers for the rav. Thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

You are going to have to rely on Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL64VJ and a Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 with your 2019 Toyota RAV4 Adventure pulling the 2022 inTech Flyer Pursue trailer. The front storage compartment combined with the unique aluminum frame design will not allow for a weight distribution style hitch to be installed.

The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL64VJ will provide up to 1,000lbs of support to the rear suspension to help keep your RAV4 level. This will not increase your towing or payload capacity, it only works to support the factory suspension. The Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System # AL25592 will allow you to easily adjust the air pressure in the air bags from the cab. It also will detect if air pressure drops below the minimum safe 5psi to automatically adjust the air pressure to the minimum safe pressure.

The Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 detects sway on the trailer and uses the trailer brakes to eliminate the sway.
