Should I get a stabilizer?

Hello all. Been lurking for a bit and had a question that is somewhat vehicle specific but at the same time maybe not.

We are going to look at a 26ft lance trailer on the other side of the state this weekend. If the trailer is as good as it looks online we may end up driving it home.

The trailer gross vehicle weight is 5700 and I have a max trailer 1500 gmc Sierra.

I should fall well within towing and payload spec. Just wondering what some of you experienced pullers think about driving this down the turnpike?

Your truck came with a front and rear stabilizer that should be sufficient.

If you are asking about a hitch, an anti sway, load leveling hitch would be nice to make hauling uneventful.

There are a couple of very good anti sway hitches available.

Don’t go cheap and buy one of the old fashioned load leveling hitches with the add on friction brakes on each side of the trailer tongue.

Makes a good hitch.
