The structural problems were associated with the 31' or possibly a 29' or two.
The 25' has not commonly exhibited the problem.

The 73 Tradewind dry weight was 4,190 lbs with a dry hitch weight of 630 lbs.
Dry weight of course is defined as the weight of the trailer minus any liquids,
"stuff" or options such as air conditioner or awning.

While I have not towed with a Landcruiser, several of our customers have towed
with them and similar vehicles. With that short wheel base you can get into a
tail wagging the dog situation. You will have to be more sensitive to correct
hitch setup to avoid the problem.
