I know this question gets asked a gazillion times, but I want to know if I'm within the parameters. I've read so much confusing info, my brain is starting to short circuit.
The trailer we're buying is the 2011 Copper Canyon. Weight is 10560.
The gross weight for truck and trailer for our truck is 18500. The approximate weight of our truck is 5900. It's a '91 Ford F250HD XLT Lariat with tow package. It has the 460 auto in it. Gear ratio is 4:10.
Where my confusion lies is with now I read that I'm supposed to add the hitch weight to the formula.
10560 = trailer
5900 = truck
2160 = hitch weight
18620 = total
That puts us over the gross combined. Am I understanding this correctly?
