For example: I thought the pin weight would be the 2120 + the b&w hitch weight of 305 = 2425. Providing i don't add anything else to the bed of the truck. eHoefler said it will be in the 3k lbs area. And troubledwaters said "you thinking the pin weight is only going to be 2120". So would either of you care to explain? This is what i'm looking for. TIA
The sticker 2120 is likely a naked trailer pin weight. Add factory upgrades, propane, water and all your trailer contents, you've likely added a few thousand pounds to the trailer weight. 20% can easily be transferred to your pin, another 400 to 500 lbs to your 2,425.
