Effy, the GCWR (coach plus trailer or toad) for the 27N is 23,000 pounds. With a UVW of 15,100 pounds (thanks, Tom!), the difference is 7900 pounds. However -
the hitch is rated for a maximum of 5000 pounds,
the tongue weight is limited to 500 pounds,
the tongue weight must be subtracted from the GVWR, and
the tongue weight must be subtracted from the GAWR (rear axle weight limit of 12,000 pounds.
Clear as mud, right?
Yep, thanks. Some of these calcs get confusing when trying to arrive at CCC vs towing etc.
