5500 lbs UVW means around 6500 loaded, ready to go camping. 10% hitch weight is 650 lbs. That leaves you 350 lbs for passengers and cargo. 15% hitch weight is 975 lbs. That leaves you 25 lbs. for passengers and gear in the truck. How does that sound to you?
Just want to ask to clarify. At 650 lbs hitch weight you show 350 for passengers and cargo. Passengers were already included in the 6100 lbs number from the CAT scale. So I assume that means 350 for just cargo?
