Eye opening CAT weighing
For last weekend's camping, I was going by a truck stop with CAT scales and wanted to get some ready to camp weights on my rig. Onboard was my wife, lab, & me. I had to get out to use the call button...

How does it tow?
I just retired my 2002 V8 Explorer from towing duties when we grew our trailer by 10 feet and 3K lbs. I did the same as you, loaded all our stuff in the trailer, kept the Explorer as empty as we could. It towed great, but was overloaded on the rear axle by a bit. The front wheel bearings needed replaced around 110K miles, and one rear went got noisy a few miles earlier. Otherwise I had no concerns with it. I still have the SUV, can't bring myself to sell it just yet...
