I hear what you are saying and sounds like solid advice. However, I don't understand how to do what you are saying. I can take it to a scale and get a weight, but not sure what to do or what that weight means. I'm looking for information on how to do this.
Find a CAT Scale.
Tell the operator you want 3 passes so they offer a discount, like $10 first, $2 each additional.
Your 3 passes are:
Truck and TT with WDH
Truck with TT without the WDH bars
Truck alone
The scale has 3 pads and you will want to get the trucks font axle on one, truck rear axle on another, and tt axles on the 3rd.
Report on here and some people will help.
Your goal is that the truck front axle with WDH is the same weight as truck alone, no trailer.
Got it, thanks.
In the meantime, I've decided on ordering a 2015 F150 supercrew lariat with EcoBoost 4x4. I believe when properly equipped and set up the F150 will meet my tow needs for the next 4-5 years and give me the best fuel economy when not towing. The F250 only had a few inches of garage clearance, about $6k higher price, poor MPG when not towing, and overkill which I'm ok with.
