What are the specs on your truck? Do you have the Max Tow or HD payload package? That trailer has a GVWR of 9700lbs. Not that you will load the trailer to it's max rating but once loaded it realistically will be around 8500-9000lbs. If you figure 12% of that for tongue weight your looking at about 1050lbs +/-..
The easiest thing to do is to load up your truck with the family, full tank of fuel and whatever gear you would throw in the bed of the truck for a camping trip. Now go to your local Cat scale and have your truck weighed. Take that # and subtract it from your trucks GVWR. Whatever you have left is for your trailers tongue weight.
No max tow or hd package. Truck GVWR is 7200 lbs going by whats on the door card.
I figure our family with dog= 550lbs and 150 lbs gear max. Anywhere online I find out what my truck weighs?
