Hitch rating says max 600# and 6000# max tow without a weight distribution system. Plan on WDS anyway.
I set this up on a spreadsheet for ease.
Some have posted that I should not use the trailer empty to begin from. But I have to start somewhere. So I worked with gross trailer backwards and used 12% for tongue wt.
Will weigh my truck with full gas tank and give curb weight. The owner's manual says I can pull 7800#,but now I don't want to. That's more than truck gross weight.
Thanks for all the responses, each post makes me think and look at different approaches.
