Jayco has a series of half-ton towables, of which we bought one. We bought the HT 26.5 RLS and it came from the factory with a weight, on the sticker, of a little over 7,200 pounds. Total weight is supposed to be 9,950 so there is about 2,700 pounds of carrying capacity. Using the 7,200 pounds as a starting point, you would have around 1,400 pounds on the hitch and go up from there, depending on how you load the FW. We have put a hitch on the back of the FW and hook our boat up when we go camping and fishing and I believe this takes some weight off the hitch, hence the truck bed as well. I don't know how much, and don't really care as I have a 3/4 ton diesel and it is more than capable of carrying the weight of my FW hitch, no matter what I weigh. If you load a lot of your inside stuff in the rear of the FW, that will also take some weight off the hitch. As far as stopping, which one poster mentioned, if the FW doesn't have brakes, don't buy it. Otherwise, if the brakes are set up properly, stopping shouldn't be a big problem.
