ManualMan,
Thanks for the reply!
As to the Van it's a 2014 Town & Country with the Fabulous 3.6 Pentastar V6 with 283 HP (It's a HOSS! Has more power than my 94 LT1 Trans Am did!)
The vehicle came from the factory with the HD cooling system including an auxiliary tranny cooler.
The brake controller is a Draw-Tite Intella Stop which is a Rebranded Tekonsha Prodigy.
The receiver is a Draw Tite class 3 with a 500lb tongue weight and 5000 lb trailer capacity (this is in excess of the tow rating, I really like overbuilt stuff).
Honestly this Receiver is stronger built than my receiver on my old 97 F150...check this beast out!!


Anyhow, at my last weigh in with the family and everything in my van I was about 3000 ish lbs under GCVW rating and more than 600 lbs under GVWR, with more than 1500 total in tire capacity , all that to say that your loaded pup weight of 3000 lbs is dead on!
Thanks!
Jeremiah
