Two fifths same size, same weight, will the one with two axles have a higher hitch weight than one with three axles? Looking at a 04 36RE3 Mobile Suites with a title weight of 13,360 three axles. Can a 2000 F350 LB Crew single axle tow it, more importantly stop it?
My answer is based on I have a 07 36SB3 Mobile Suites. It weighs about 19k with 4,500# pin weight.
U sure it has 3 axles? Really does not matter you will be WAY OVERLOADED.
As far as stopping the trailer is supposed to stop its self.
Bigger truck or smaller RV.
You can't go by the 13,360 weight. My unloaded weight says 14.5K look at my weight compared to that.
