All the talk about weights and me having some problems towing the first trip I got a WD hitch and took it to the scales empty today. I think I am a notch high on the hitch and have dropped it to the bottom.
Here are my numbers:
Salem T25 toy hauler behind a full size Ram 2500 Quad cab 6.5 bed.
Trailer ratings
GVWR 10588
GAWR (each axle) 5080
Truck rating
Total GVWR 8800
Rear GVWR 6000
Truck weights-empty (measured)
front 3600
rear 3100
total 6500
Truck and trailer (trailer dry measured).
truck front-loaded 3200
back truck loaded 4550
RV Duals 6100
truck with trailer weights 7750
truck without trailer weights 6500
tongue weight 1250
What I noticed was that my steering axle actually got lighter (so not enough tension on the WD correct?)
If I have a 1000 lb receiver I am also overloaded with a dry trailer correct?
Will one more chain link correct this?
Still does not pull worth a crap.
Sorry for Hi-jacking this thread but seems like fits right in or feel free to move it.
