Actual Hitch Weight vs Dry Hitch Weight
I'm currently looking at a lighter TT. I'm concerned with hitch weight right now on my Ram 1500. My towing capacity is fine (10,050lbs). I'm looking at TTs with a dry hitch weight between 515-600lbs. ...

I got it weighed today. Actually weighed it without a slip for free. It was 5780 with random stuff in it (Larger tire wrench, ratchet straps, some tools, tarps, 30' tow strap, bungees, etc.). So I have 1020 lbs for payload. With a WDH, I think I'll be right on the payload. Without I could be over. Just depends on the TT I get and how much stuff we put it in.
"So I have 1020 lbs for payload. With a WDH, I think I'll be right on the payload. Without I could be over...." The way you've stated it here, you believe that your WDH increases your payload? This is not correct! A WDH does NOT increase your payload. Nothing you can add on increases that payload figure.
