So my pin weight on the trailer is 2790. My truck can do 3090 without passengers or cargo. I load in a rzr 900 4 seater behind the axels with the majority of the weight ( the engine ) right back at the lift gate. The machine weighs 1400 pounds. This I'm told reduces my pin weight as much as half of the weight of the machine, If I put on some beefy tires I think I will be in my load range as far as my trucks curb weight is concerned. My gross combination will be close. My towing limit will be over weight hopping good tranny fixes this. The trailer itself has drum brakes on all three axels and can stop my truck itself without trouble.
Bring your TH to a scale and get your pin weights with and without the rzr loaded. From what I have read, with a triple axle trailer the majority of the weight of your "toy" will be added to the axles of the toy hauler and not subtracted from the pin. I have yet to bring mine to a scale to verify this, but I will before my next trip out.
