Yes, I have the HR (Hood River)edition. I've only towed it on one trip, as we bought it just before the winter set in. Didn't notice any excess sway at speed on the interstate with semis etc. We'll have to see how it handles the cross winds on trips this spring. Likely will install a WDH. Needless to say we are really excited about having the pod.

I checked with my local trailer shop and they have a slightly use Fastway E2 that they will install for total of $225. Sounds like a score.

Before leaving for Utah I weighed the tongue and adjust so I had about 375 pounds on it. That is about 12% of the loaded pod weight. The Tacoma pulled the pod just fine. We drove for about 15 hours down and back in very strong winds. The truck worked hARD sometimes but pulled the pod well. I don't have the extra anti sway bars and the pod was still stable.
