Does anyone know why this is so much lower than the payload number? We would like to have the Montana high country 383TH, the hitch weight is 3225. So, this is a miss by 45 lbs. how much lighter would you expect the pin weight to be with my 850 lb motorcycle in the back?
Actually you have two questions...and you got actual answers to both. Your last question cannot be answered with the exact weight as way too many variables. I don't have your exact trailer but from loading dozens of flatbed trailers/enclosed trailers/stock trailers I would agree with the poster that answered your last question.
