Overweight new off the lot and unloaded? Im not a member of the weight police bandwagon but even to me that seems like a bad idea once loaded up.
Ya. Don't care.
Towed better then my 27 foot stealth.
I did my research and talked to people who weight cars for a living.
His biggest concerns were items I already addressed.
So the actual real life weight police weighted me and said I was good to go.
I will take real life actual device from them then Internet banter that gets spouted around as facts.
Lyrikz, good job!! Now if we were talking bumper pulls, I would be concerned, I was overweight once, only a couple hundred pounds, NEVER AGAIN!!!!! With a fiver, whole different ballgame, I am too overweight with my set-up, a 2006 Cummins Dually towing a Momentum 385TH, I don't care. I am better then 80% of the other toy hauler owners out there that tow with a 3/4 ton, and I am a sticker on weights, but I am not the PoPo. I am a Firefighter, and I know safety, and I feel safe.
Its funny all the weight police talk on this site. I literally talked with a weight police officer. He told me i would be fine. so, i will take his word for it being that is his job.
I did learn something yesterday though. I found that rim failure is a more common problem then tire failure. I had these 35" tires before with a 3200 pound load rating. Come to find out that my rim was only rated at 2200...
The rims i have now are rated at 5000, and my tires are way over that. I am getting rid of the samson tires and stepping to a better grade 19.5. Actually going with a smaller tire and it should level out the trailer perfect.
I have a few dirt bikes and 2 quads im towing. About 1500 in bikes/quads.
I normally dont tow with water, i fill when i get there. The camper place filled the tank so i had about 800 pounds of water.
I dont remember if i posted the numbers.
Front axle was 4900 under weight
rear axle was 6900, over weight
trailer hooked to the truck weighted 12600.
