Wolf Pack 30 WP Tongue weight
Just wondering if anybody has one and know what the tongue weight is loaded. Unloaded it is 1157#. So should I buy the 1200# or the next size up 1500# in the Reese Strait line Dual cam?

We were first towing with a 2004, f350 dually, factory hitch, 1200 tongue rating, 12000 overall. i was over the rating of the hitch. We towed with the truck for two years and 20k miles. The truck had some engine troubles and we purchased a 08 f450. That truck had had a factory 16k hitch with a 1600 lb tongue rating. We towed with the 450 for 9 months before selling the truck and upgrading to a 5er.
As to upgrading the hitch, it wouldn't be a bad idea. We were always near the limit of our trailers gvwr. Our trailer had all the factory options, and loaded weighed 12 to 13k. We weighed the trailer empty and were over 9500 lbs. I towed the trailer twice with my parents f250, when the 450 broke. While the truck towed it, there was a noticable difference between that and the dually.
