Tongue weight is too much
Weighed the awesome PUP the other day and boy was I in for a suprise. The PUP was loaded for camping and the gross weight was only 2720 lbs which is well in the rating for the Awesome Minivan... ...

Thanks for the feedback Ben....trying to get this dialed in to my liking. I am okay near capacity, as long as the handling is good.
Shocks would be great and may be something I add..I will look into this more.
The PUP has a 4 inch tube frame...per the OEM I can use a WD hitch as long as it's a tube frame and not C-Chanel...so I am good there.
As far as a WD hitch....
I am looking at Andersen, but will probably go with a Reese Trunnion 550 lb WD hitch. The beauty of this hitch is that if (or is it when?) we move to a TT I can simply purchase heavier bars for the new tongue weight.
Of course I could do the same with a Eaz-Lift or a Blue-Ox.
But the Reese (and I think Pro-Series round bar) has a 550 lb bar which I think would be a great match for my pup.
I prefer friction sway control but the Reese would give me the freedom to try dual cam sway control in the future...Dual Cam may be overkill for TT pup...but who can't stand a bit of overkill now and then?
Thanks!
