2016 Fuzion 371 too much for 2 axles

This toy hauler should have G rated tires @ 4080lbs +/- each, if so that would be no problem.

Back in 2005 when we were shopping and down to the Raptor and Jayco the difference was 2 and 3 axles. After looking at the Jayco and getting the #s for the axles and tires we opted for the Raptor as I didn't feel there was enough margin and the hitch weight was high too. So I'd say check the axles and tires to make sure they are rated for it, but don't assume you need to check. I did a quick check and the Hitch Weight showed up at 3015#, make sure your truck can handle that.

My 2004 Victory Lane was 14000 lbs on 2 axles. Dutchmen delivered it with 6000 lb axles and E-rated ST tires (hahahaha). After a couple of blowouts and wiggly cords, I replaced the remaining 3 tires. After a couple more blowouts and belt axles, everything between the frame and ground was replaced. 7000lb 8-bolt axles, wheels capable of 110psi and GY 614s and Dexter wet bolt and cushion equalizers with heavy duty shackles..

After that, we didn't have any suspension problems.

The walls weren't square when we traded it but that's another story.

Anyway, 2 axles can work if properly configured. However, #1 (by a long shot) was that our new toy hauler had to be a tri-axle. No regrets and no worries (after I got rid of the ST tires it came with).

We'll be picking up our new 5er with 20,000# GVW two axles 17.5 H rated tires which would provide 19,220 carry capasity. Of course we'll be looking at a min a 20% pin weight if fully loaded so 20,000 -4,000= 16,000 on the axles.

Our 2014 Grand Design 380TH weighs in at 19,400 on 2 8k lb axles and 16 ply H rated tires. I hauled it 27000 miles so far. The math works and I only have to buy 4 tires at changeover time.

Haven't priced out those replacement shoes yet.

my carbon has a 16500lb gvwr and 2 axles on G rated tires, 3 rd season no issue, but first thin I changed out was the tires!

Shook hands on a purchase deal last night. Picking up today so if anyone knows of any reason to avoid a 2016 Fuzion FZ371 please chime in quickly.

Ooh. A bath and a half. Fancy. That makes your garage a legit guest room. That means you don't need to have the awkward "everybody poops" talk with your guests when they stay with you for the weekend.
