That 1265 dry pin weight will be more on a loaded trailer. Payload may be a real concern
That is another question...is that pin weight dry weight, or is it based on gross weight? The trailer's cargo capacity is about 2055 lbs, so do I take 20% of that and add it to the pin weight? If so that would be a pin weight of 1677 lbs, which SEEMS to be well under my 2140 payload.
2140lbs sticker payload
- 250lbs hitch
- 350lbs family
- 100lbs tools/etc
=1440 available pin capacity
