    3.5 inch drop at the tires is a lot.


    That is quite a bit. My 3500 drops about that when I hook up my 342. I am on the overloads at that point. I don't like the feel of driving on the overloads, so I fill the air bags to 35-45 psi and enjoy the ride. You will probably get some bags or timbrens back there before you know it.

    Congrats on the new toy hauler, they are a lot of fun. Yes, you will have less pin weight when your Harley get loaded into the back of the TH.

    A Harley in New Mexico, the first place I'd go is the Coronado highway just inside Arizona. Have always wanted to ride that.
    We have reservation at Hon Dah Arizona Rv park for the White Mt motorcycle rally. The Coronado trail is on our riding list. I hear its nice riding.When I get my impact next week ill load it and have it weight and documented. Think you reply

  • I was at my dealer today and he had me hook up to my 36 ft impact and measure the truck tire to the top of the wheel well it was 10 1/4 inches, when he lowered the 2800 lb impact my truck doped 3 an 1/2 inches it looked level. he assured me when my Harley and gear was loader in the garage the hitch weight will be less. the cool part he told me I didn't need air bags. I'm now a proud owner of a 2015 keystone impact.
  • The Dmax is a great towing machine, it will pull anything just check your weight limits.
  • Yup 2800 lb pay load. With the 900 lb Harley and other gear would that change the hitch weight much?
  • 11,656 is heavier than the empty weight on my 41' warrior.
    I use a 2012 F350 dually with a 30,000 GCWR and a 13,000 lb GVWR.

    you make your own conclusions from that.
  • Weight is fine, it will pull it. Payload on the truck is not sufficient for that trailer. You will get a lot of responses.
