42 Foot Toy Hauler with 2063 Pound Dry Pin Weight?

3 axles trailers carry more on the axles. My friends 3 axle on my truck handles much differently than my 2 axle.

I believe there was an individual on here not too long ago that had real problems with his toyhauler misbehaving when loaded or unloaded, can't remember which, due to the light pin weight. That's really pretty unusual to have a 5th wheel misbehave, and I believe he had the factory either replace it, or repair it, and I think it was replaced.

I don't think I'd care to pull a 42' toyhauler with only 2000 lb. in weight. The pin weight would only decrease as you loaded stuff in the garage, and IMO that could get downright spooky.

That is only a 14% dry pin weight (14,817# w/2063# pin weight)

With a GVWR of 20,063 and a 14% pin weight.......2808# pin weight.

So if ratio holds true......mfg. could very well be going after the newer 3/4 ton truck crowd.
Newer truck mfg. are touting high payloads/max towing numbers that were 1 ton territory not so long ago

Of course.....the devil is in the details
Actual payloads (after all passengers/stuff etc is subtracted from GVWR)
The trucks GVWR (10,000# won't cut it)
Rear tire load ratings

What the real wet pin weight (%) is with full fresh water tank and trailer camp ready. Unfortunately that real number is only available AFTER purchase

Unless you put a military tank in the back it will never have a tongue weight as light as 1500#. Stated dry weight is 15K and GVWR is 20K, 5ers have pin weight of 20% or better, whether that puts this toyhauler in 3/4 ton truck territory is up to you, but it's a bit more than I would be willing to take on. These TH manufacturers must use special math, at 15K# dry-weight with no toys loaded, pin-weight will certainly be higher than 2K# on a 42' rig.

Definitely 1 ton diesel dually territory with a 20K# GVWR and it will have it's hands full when rig is fully loaded. Our TT TH dry and tongue weight was much heavier than what manufacturer stated and the pinweight on this Evergreen TH doesn't appear to be real world accurate. Even if it is accurate that is a lot of TH for a 3/4 ton truck, it would pull it but can't imagine towing comfort would be ideal.

Evergreen makes some very nice towables and this TH is very sharp. Toyhaulers are heavy creatures with very large tanks, with many having a couple of fuel tanks as well. Pin and tongue weights increase dramatically when lightly loaded or without any toys onboard, we have had our TH for a few years and now travel about half the time with no toys onboard. There are a few TH 5ers that can be towed by 3/4 ton trucks, but this 42' rig really requires more heft than any 3/4 ton truck can currently provide.
