Hi Mark,
I would be interested in your thoughts on how your airbags have added to you're towing experience and also the use of a WDH and whether you consider them essential.
I have previously had airbags in my Xtrail to firm up my rear suspension which worked very well. I wasn't allowed to use a WDH by Nissan to transfer the weight to the front wheels.
Now that I have just purchased a Prado diesel auto 2 days ago I am considering whether I need to install airbags again if the rear suspension is a bit soft (?), and also an auto transmission cooler and to consider the use of a WDH.
I understand the advantages of a WDH but I am a little cautious as I used one many years ago on my VB commodore towing a camper trailer. It worked well except that it bent the back end of my car despite having Holden strengthening boot struts and it being set up correctly (yes it was by experts).
As a WDH puts a lot of pressure on the A frame and car I am reluctant unless needed to ensure safety. ( I realise that this topic can get very serious by some people! )
I welcome your or anyone else's thoughts
thanks
David
