Question from Ron Gratz post in a sticky
I have been studying Ron Gratz's example of the 2000 pound lift WDH, in the sticky on this forum, and have a question. If the tow vehicle has, say, an 1800 pound payload rating, and loaded for camp...

Let me see if I have this straight.
The WDH moving weight, say 300 pounds, to the TT axle does NOT let you put extra weight on the tongue of the trailer. However, it DOES let you add some more weight to the cab or bed of the truck.
Example: Truck with payload of 1800 pounds has 400 pounds of passengers, 900 pounds of pin weight, 200 pound cap, 150 pounds of "other stuff" leaves 150 pounds of payload. Moving 300 pounds to trailer axle ups that to 450 pounds of payload, as long as it is not tongue weight on the hitch.
Am I right?
