Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Towing vehicle

Further things......Our pod is a little lighter than yours. 

Also We use a small EZ friction type sway control bar that came with the used pod I bought.  If you don't go with a full WDH type hitch, you should at least get one of these.  It helps with sway, which if you ever experience it is truly scary.  It does nothing about the "porpoise" effect when going up and down hills, which is very noticeable in the Tacoma.  That may be more of a comfort than safety thing.  Probably would have got a WDH, but the Tacoma already had came with a receiver and the pod came with the sway bar so I just went with it.  My son tells me the Sienna pulls without much porpoise effect (he has driven both vehicles with the pod).
