We own a custom built 2019 VanLeigh Vilano 369 FB. Changed the interior colors, went to 8" axles, disc brakes, 3-AC's, etc. Pulled with a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW Denali, Curt A25 hitch. Class A drivers license. Trailer rated at 18,000 GSVW, 39+ ft long, dual rear cameras. Truck has front camera, and a grill that can handle just about any deer.
Had to make numerous modifications but pulls pretty smooth. BTW - the on-board brake controller would never "talk" to the trailer's brake actuator for disc brakes, so that was by-passed with a Tekonsha controller, and problem was solved.
Haven't been on enough trips yet, but time will take care of that.

Going by Goodyear tire guidance.

Good that you checked with Goodyear tire recommendations. Have any trips planned for the near future?
