Here’s what I found. Similar to newer expeditions. If you do not have HD trailering package, you can town about 7000 lbs and with HD trailering package you can do 9000 lbs.
Finally got to CAT scale. Wheelbase 119.
Here’s the measurements Steering Axel-Drive Axel-Trailer- Front fender- rear fender
Tow Vehicle/5780 Travel trailer/6020--------------------36”-35”
Without WDH engaged.----------------2360-4160-5280-36.75”-33.5”
With WDH engaged (5-Link)----------2500-3960-5320-36.50”-33.75”
With WDH engaged (4-Link)----------2620-3800-5360-36.25”-34”
At 5 chain links as recommended, the trailer is almost perfect level. At 4 chain links, it’s got a slight incline.
I did drive it back from CAT scale about 10 miles with 4-links, and it did feel better. I’ll try this setup on the next trip.
