Ok, so I know I have more measurements to get still, but did re-weigh the truck today on the same CAT scale I weighed it on with the trailer connected. Numbers are kind of interesting, I think:
1. Truck weight unloaded, hitch head in receiver, full tank of gas, me inside (we didn't load anything inside the truck itself when traveling with the trailer):
a. Front Axle Weight: 3360 lbs.
b. Rear Axle Weight: 2520 lbs.
c. Gross Weight: 5880 lbs.
2. Truck weight with trailer and WD bars on:
a. Front Axle Weight: 3320 lbs.
b. Rear Axle Weight: 3260 lbs.
c. Gross Weight: 12,660 lbs.
So, I know I still need to get a weight with the trailer connected, but WD bars off and plan to do that this afternoon when we get the trailer back out, but just looking at those numbers seems like most of the tongue weight is going on the back axles, not transferring to the front.
