The lack of quotes is confusing, but anyway….
You’ll gain most of the contraption weight on the pin weight and a bit less of the actual trailer weight, so won’t gain a whole lot of pin weight.
Whoever said too much tongue weight can cause sway as well is partially kinda right. But generally it’s only when the tow vehicle is quite under sized and under sprung.
Sure would be nice to be able to demo one. That’s a lot of coin for something that may help you.
I’d move the axles back for way less money ifn I “had” to correct the problem and could t do it by shuffling gear around.
the lack of quotations was my fault. i cut it down so it wasn't as large of a response and that isn't easy to do on a cell phone or at least for myself it isn't.
that is exactly what i have been wondering........where will the weight of the gn be or will it even add weight to the tongue. it has to add some and it would appear that the majority of the weight would be behind the tail gate, so i would assume it would be on the tongue. no matter what, if the trailer is detached from the truck, that 350 lbs will show up on a scale as tongue weight. so is it a true addition to tongue weight when considering a load behind the axles acting against it? i truly have no idea.
i agree, i wish i could demo it but thats not an around the block demo, i would need a couple hundred miles , loaded with my sand rail to know for sure.
read about tongue heavy and had a friend warn me about it years ago.
