Here is more detail. The Andersen hitch is the rail mount installed in the rear position per instructions for a short bed truck. This puts the hitch point behind the rear axel.

The pin box is the standard Lippert 1621 extended pin box. The truck is F350 with camper package and snow plow package 11500lb GVW. All holding tanks were empty when towing.
The truck weight empty
Front 4700
Rear 3460
With the trailer and Reese hitch
Front 4720
Rear 5760
Trailer 12160
Combined 20440
I have not weighed using the Andersen to see if the weight has shifted.
