    New to the 4Runner world - have a 2019 TRD Off-Road that is original with 52k miles. I tow a utility trailer that fully loaded likely hits 3K lbs. The tongue weight is enough to draw down the back of the 4Runner - nothing real severe but enough that I am considering airbags. The only thing I am seeing out there are the Firestone (blue) Air Rite units.

    Are they decent? Is there a better alternative? 95% of my driving is highway (unfortunately).

    Thanks for whatever advice you may have.

    Okay - I’m familiar with that setup as that’s what I used to use towing a Toyhauler - but for that setup the cost was closer to $1K! So this cost is in my ball park. I wanted to stick with just an airbag solution but of course that won’t address any sway issues (which I’ve already experienced) so I’ll likely go with your suggestion - thanks.

    Moderator - think I posted this in wrong forum - please move as needed.
