Tongue weight on a bumper pull is a problem. Most are going to be in the 1500# range empty then they get a tad lighter when loaded.
Interesting, I didnt think about that but i get it. The escalade has auto load leveling rear suspension with magnetic ride control but i havent used it on anything to know how well it works...thank you for your input ill have to search out the capacity.
so the max tongue weight with distribution is 1250lbs, the dry tongue weight of the trailer is 760lbs according to manufacturers so i should be okay on that number!
When they say dry...thats dry. Add water,gear,cloths and propane. My last bumper pull hauler was the same. Mfg indicated 760 dry. I was 1250 ready to camp with a 8k gross trailer. Loaded with toys I was back to 800 tongue on a 11500 gross trailer. The trailer was uncontrolable due to very low loaded tounge weight with toys...behind a 1 ton dually.
I sold it for a 5th wheel.
Just givin you some more math for the equation
