I have the Grand Design Reflection 1/2 ton towable. Yes, the posted pin weight is 1516lbs, however my actual pin weight is 1700lbs. The actual weight of the my Reflection is 8800lbs. I have a 2500 Ram 4x4 diesel. This puts 4800lbs on my front axle and 5100lbs on my rear axle with hitch and tool box. That's a total of 9900lbs GVWR or 300lbs over my rated 9600lbs. I guess if I could replace the diesel with a V6 I could stay under my GVWR. I know the new 1/2 tons are stronger than ever before, but I am so comfortable with my 2500.
