Moderators - please move if I am posting in the wrong section!

We are trying to get our truck ready to pick up the TM.

1999 Lexus LX-470 (basically a 100 series Land Cruiser). It is rated to tow 6500 lbs.

The TM website says tongue weight is ~400 lbs for the 2720, but the current owners said the tongue weight is 700 lbs?!?

Either way, I was going to try to find air bags for the rear coils. The LX 470 has a self-leveling suspension so I don't want it to freak out when we hook up. It had no problem with the pop-up, but that thing is pretty light.

I also need to add a brake controller and a 7-pin connector. I was thinking about the Tekonsha P3: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Bra...eID=1999203485

And this connector: https://www.etrailer.com/p-ETBC7.html

Any advice from the veterans?
