Took the plunge

Thanks for all the info. Dealer tells me last week of march for delivery, no, no cargo container. I felt with the truck 8 foot bed I didn't need extra cargo space.

Wow, that's a quick delivery. Where did you purchase it if you don't mind me asking? We think alike on the cargo box option. Besides, the cargo box lengthens the trailer to about a 25' trailer.

Bought in Pleasenton calif at the alameda fair grounds. Dealer had a 17 & 21footers already ordered. I just got my name on the 21and paid through the nose. Did ok on my trade in.

Good to see that Bigfoot is gradually expanding their dealer network again. A trivial observation but the Alameda dealer's website shows a 21FB picture for a 21RB.

I noticed that. Actually would have prefered the FB but no big deal.

With a one ton dually you absolutely will not need a weight distributing hitch. I'd wait on the sway bar until after you tow the trailer. You may not need it. I never had a sway bar and have towed with a number of different vehicles with NO sway. With enough weight on the hitch you'll be fine.

Well said and I agree entirely.

Why would you prefer the FB? I see advantages to both layouts but it's always interesting to hear the reasons why. Looking at what some of the dealers are now stocking it seems that most are FBs, which I translate as being more popular.
