All of his trailers start off with tongue weights in the 10% to 12% range. 12% is a reasonable number to use to calculate the loaded tongue weight for purposes of calculating payload and contemplating tow vehicles. 50 lbs of tongue weight one way or the other is not a catastrophe. Your opinion may vary.

And if it turns out that he is at 15% and over his TVs rating..... YOU will be writing the check for his new TV?

It's ok. It seems to be close. I would probably be fine with the Armada but I rather go over a bit than be right at the max. Let pretend I go over by 1 lbs. No big deal. It will not make a difference to be 1lbs over. Now I have a accident. Doesnt matter if the weight had nothing to do with it. I still went over the limit and I am sure you can face legal consequences for going over the weight. I reather be on the safe side just to be sure. On another forum some guy is towing a 6,500lbs trailer with a Armada. Toung weight at 1,000 lbs said he had no issues. I have no you t the Armada can do it. I just want to make sure it's safe and within the limits of the manufacturer.

I personally have never seen legal ramifications for being over weight. Like I said earlier it's about comfort level when towing. When your at max weight you feel every expansion joint in the concrete. It's more of a white-knuckle Drive. Crosswinds semi's passing braking ect. It's just a more pleasant experience towing long distance with more truck then you need, stress levels go down. It's your money and your decesion. Best of luck with your decesion.
