It would make much more sense to me if Chevrolet specified Front Alxe Load Restoration (FALR) on the basis of tongue weight rather than trailer weight.
For example --
With trailer weight = 7000# and TW not more than 1100#, 0% FALR (no WD) is okay.
With trailer weight = 7001#, TW could be 700#, and 50% FALR is required.
So, an 1100# TW could be okay with 0% FALR, but 700# TW might require 50%.
With trailer weight = 9900#, TW could be 1485#, and 50% FALR is okay.
With trailer weight = 9901#, TW could be 1485#, and 100% FALR is required.
So, a 1485# TW might be okay with 50% FALR, or it might require 100%.
Is anyone else confused?? :h
