Not trying to hijack this thread, but if the GVWR of the TT is 7900# and it's loaded to say 7000#; if the optimal hitch weight is 13-15% of the TT weight, that would be 900-1100# (give or take) plus what ever is loaded behind the rear axle in the bed. Wouldn't he be WAY over the capacity of the 800# bars?
This question is for my education as much as anything so don't beat me up!!
Yes that is why he stated he was making the dealer switch the bars out to 1200# ones. His actual weight is going to be around 7500+/- a few hundred lbs.
