2013 Ford F150 XLT.. crew cab.. (snip)

Mine is calculated as 3470 on the front axle with passengers dogs and gear and unhitched. With my e2 hitch instructions, you adjust it where you do not add more weight to the front axle and I take this as “loaded before hitching”. Of course you do that by measuring the height to the front fender. At the maximum hitched adjustment, the height would remain the same. So, with the e2 adjustment, some goes to the front axle and some goes to the trailer axles. What I am saying is 3200 lbs seems like it could take more weight for the 3750 Front axle weight rating (that is what my 2014 XLT Supercab 3.5L is rated at.) I need to verify weights at the cat scales because engineering/physics calculations just get you in the ballpark.
