Critique My Tow Numbers
I'm looking for some feedback on the TV and TT combo I'm putting together. I've gone over the numbers a few times and I'm close but safe I think. Please review and give me your thoughts.
TV:
2011 Ford F150 with 145" wheelbase, Super Crew, 4x4, Eco Boost, with Max Tow Package:
TT:
Kodiak 284BHSL
Unloaded Weight: 5910 lbs
Loaded Weight: 7600 lbs (1690 lbs cargo, water etc.)
Dry Hitch: 709 lbs
Distribution Hitch: Propride anti-sway
Truck Curb Weight 5800
Towing Capacity 11100
Max Payload. 1752
GCWR............... 16700
GAWR Front...... 3750
GAWR Rear........ 4050
GVWR ................7650
284 BHSL ................7600 (trailer weight wet)
Tongue Weight 760 (10% wet trailer weight)
People ................280
Truck Cap ................200
Dist. Hitch ........100
Other ................200 (other cargo in truck)
-----------------------------------------
Remaining GCWR 2520
Remaining GVWR 310
Remaining Payload 212
Tires: P275/65R18 114T (Weight rated at 2601 lbs per tire)
I'm using 10% as the estimated tongue weight as I understand the weight distribution hitches distribute the weight off the back end to the trailer and truck axles.
I also highly doubt we'll load 1600 lbs of stuff into the trailer, it will probably be closer to 1000 lbs. We also don't plan to drive with loaded fresh, grey or black water.
Thanks for your feedback.
Josh
