You need to add more drop to your hitch. If the picture is not deceiving, the front end of your Pod is significantly higher than the rear. The proper setup would have the Pod level or slightly nose down. What kind of hitch are you using? The vehicle's stance looks okay from what I can tell.

Congratulations on your R-Pod. We have a 2016 R-Pod 179 which we currently tow with a 2016 Ford Escape SE with 2L Ecoboost engine. I have made a number of modifications to our R-Pod which you can see in my mods linked below.

Using an Equalizer hitch set up by the camper dealer. It really isn't up, just looks that way in the picture. It was up significantly but I had them change it, this is the best position, next up is too high, next down is too low. On a level grade it is nearly completely level. I may tinker with it myself but it tows great as it is.

Thanks

Congratulations and welcome!

Your setup looks nice. I hope you enjoy your 179 as much as we are enjoying ours.
