JRTJH,
As a newbie I really appreciate the help and feedback. Going through the estimated numbers:
Payload is 1380#
Family 475#
WD hitch 100#
Misc 125#
Total 700#
680# remaining capacity
Estimated guess at additional weight packed in trailer 750# [I don't plan to tow water]
If i choose a trailer at 4800# or less dry weight with all the options included - load in the 750# and distribute it correctly. Is it safe to assume 10% of the gross weight will be the estimated tongue weight? If my estimates are correct, 560-580# is the number I should keep below 680# remaining capacity.
My numbers may not be totally accurate, but I'm hoping to at least get an understanding of the calculations to start really looking hard at the numbers.
Is their a recommended % to run below payload capacity?
Thanks again for you help! This forum is amazing
