Check out my listed trailer regarding dry tongue wt. I beleive factory lists 560 lbs or close. I drove over a DOT scale while taking it loaded for 2 for 3 days of camping. It was 920 lbs. So, what ever the trucks payload rating is; Yes plan on 1,000 lbs of added wt. to truck just for the trailer tongue on the 24 footer.
Edit:
The following post is correct, the number Keystone, (ie a 24RKSWE) gives does not include the bumper and tongue. OR DMV figured that one out and takes money from me for a 27 foot trailer. Do not tell them, my tape shows it is 27 ft 4 inch's long.
