Curb weight of the SE/SWB is given as 5311 pounds at this link. I don't think that number includes anything but the vehicle itself.
If that's so, 5900 pounds at the scales might be just about right:
Three hundred pounds of husband added to 5311 is 5611, and if the (28-gal.) gas tank was full that's another 200-plus pounds for a total of 5811 or so. The weight of the tow package (hitch etc.) could easily make up the difference for the total of 5900 pounds you see at the scales.
Dunno what you're towing, but 1300 pounds of payload left over after husband, fuel, and hitch are accounted for ain't that bad at all...It's just you, your stuff, and the trailer hitch, right?
There's me, our daughter, eventually another child, and two dogs (together they weigh 75 pounds), and I think our stuff we would put in the trailer. I wonder if I should start another thread on what the max weight of trailer we would be wise to get would be...
I never even thought of the fuel... I'll bet he did just put in darn near a full tank of gas!
