CAT Scale results - advice needed

Thanks for the advice. It makes sense! I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3/4 ton vehicle to tow our vehicle, so it might just be time to do it. I was initially worried about our payload being near the max, but now I have to worry about the hitch weight max.

I'm looking at a lightly used F250, which will drastically increase my payload and also push my hitch weight to around 1250-1400#. I started another thread on the towing vehicles forum last week.

I will also shift little weight around in my trailer, because I want a lower hitch weight regardless of the vehicle. We do not have any outdoor rear storage compartments, so we'll have to just put things inside the TT.

Actually, the numbers with the WDH don't look bad, it was really the non-WDH numbers that looked odd and therefore lead one to question if the other numbers were correct.

While a 3/4 ton will certainly do well, you shouldn't need one for this trailer.
