Artic Fox pin weight on 27-5l
Artic Fox info says 1868. Anybody have any real life numbers?

I would love to own an Artic Fox...but it was one of the first trailers we nixed due to weight, as was a Citation, Sandpiper, TravelAire and a couple of others.
2500 trucks have the motor..but dont have the RAWR or GVWR that Duallys do. Thats the killer.
Took us a number of months to find a decent sized unit (30') that weighed 8050 lbs dry.. (w/3 slides no less..!), but I am sure I am still a few hundred lbs over my GVWR when I add in Pin weight loaded.
But ya do whatcha ya can to mitigate that: LRE tires at proper pressure, proper loading, no water on brd except to do a cpl flushes/wash hands. And to help with the rear end sag..although slight, I added a Roadmaster Active Suspension. Very slick and works significantly better than air bags.
Good luck on finding the right trailer at the right weight...Take a look at Rockwoods, Chaparalls and possibly Palomino's...??
....or a good used dually.
