5er Towing 21,700 is a real deceptive number that gets people in trouble, 25% pin is 5,425#
My last 5er had 25% pin, it weighed 19k so 4,750#. So with hitch, fuel passengers etc would your truck be within spec towing that Mobile Suites?
** NO **
my pin is 3460# with 12,860 on the trailer axles.. The trailer was weighed for our NORMAL travel, so that number would increase a bit for a longer trip.
I will loose a bit of the pin as the Superglide was 350# and I believe the B&W weighs in at just under 150# per the specs..
AND I added a 50 gallon Titan Diesel tank to the old truck, the weight of the tank was a wash, but the extra fuel weighed in at 113#... that is already factored into my weight now..
Gotta get the new hitch in and run to the scales
