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...

Just crawled under the TT to check the axle. Clearly marked 3500 pounds. So all the extra/overage listed in the specs is tongue weight. And, if I understand how the WDH works, more tension puts not only more weight to the TV's front axle but some goes back to the TT axle. Man, I really need to diagram out my rig with weights so I can clearly explain to SWMBO our limitations in TT loading.
Still unloading stuff. Cut our metal silverware weight by half, saved another 1.05#! That was in addition to removing 26.4# from the TT last night, and 23# from the TV. Discussed leaving the cast iron at home depending on our menu, that went over surprisingly well ;)
Haven't used the factory metal platform yet, considering moving the spare tire elsewhere and pulling the platform. It's got to be 40-50#.
You just said it towa well. HP is one thing you recognize it's lacking. Handling is acceptable, so don't drove yourself nuts storing silverware in the glove box and splitting the tools to 4 corners of the TT.
You're good!
