I had the dealer max the caster and it helped with what you are asking. 2016 Limited with TRD wheels and tires.

I have a 2016 Limited. Last year I bought a 2016 Lance 1685 camper. Dry weight of ~3800 pounds. I picked it up just outside of Hershey PA, and towed down to Washington DC, and back to Saint Louis over the Appalachian mountains. I got about 10 mpg. Transmission in S4. Downshifted to S3 when...

2016 Limited on TRD wheels and tires. Vague "return to center feel", and some wandering. Dealer tech was knowledgeable, and put in max caster as I requested. Problem solved. ;)

I towed a Lance 1685 over the Appalachian mountains this year from DC to Saint Louis. It's not optimal, but gets the job done. I towed the same camper in southern Missouri on two lane roads (read steeper grades) and it did OK as well. I have a WDH (dual trunion anti-sway) and airbags...

What I predict to happen is implanted RFID tags to verify identity. It's already starting in Sweden, and would lead the way to a cashless global economy. Of course, the religious connotations are enormous......

No alarm for the rear hatch window sadly. Guess how I found that out? :D

My 2016 Limited had vague return to center feel since new. My 20,000 mile service was due, and the quick alignment check at the service entry bay indicated a toe-out condition. I'm not really all that trusting of how they did that test, but bought and alignment anyway. I asked the advisor to...

If that's the "i" button, it works to toggle the info in my T4R. I just want it to default to streetname/speedlimit. Is that even possible?

It seems I used to be able to have the GPS maps in my 2016 Limited show streets and speed limits on the lower right side of the screen. The option is still selected in the preferences, but I have to push the "i" button twice to get it to show. I have to do that after every startup.... Is...

Dometic Milenco Grand Aero 3 Towing DM-2912

Based on the letter you originally posted from Toyota, I picked up a 3800 lb (empty), 4500 lb ready to roll 21 foot Lance 1865 in Shoemakersville PA in July. I'm using a E2 Fastway 600/6000 WDH. I towed that sucker down to DC, over the Appalachian mountains, and back to Saint Louis. I also...

I'll add that my brake controller is a digital proportional Curt (Triflex). I need to turn off the brake light send dip switch to keep from throwing codes when using just the trailer brakes. Other than that, it works very well.

2007 FJR avatar, and 2012 Camaro SS manual transmission in sig. :D

I'll chime in with info I learned mostly from here. Get a decent WDH with built in sway control, and get rear spring air bags. A month ago, I drove from Saint Louis to just outside of Philly, picked up a 4300 pound Lance 1685, and pulled it down to DC, then over the Appalachians back to Saint...

What is it like riding the Grom? I started on a 1973 Honda ST90....
