Well, FWIW with camper aboard, I just towed our trailer using a new 2.5”, 41” - 48” Reese (Draw-Tite) extension which weighs a whopping 56# even without the ball hitch…I’d previously added a Curt commercial direct bolt on 2800# hitch which mounts just below the less robust 1800# OEM hitch…Before leaving, I measured the enclosed trailer’s tongue weight at about 525# (using a tongue scale) and used the 41” pin-to-pin length…I’d estimate the V nose off-road machine trailer weight to be at about 4500# and with added V nose cabinetry and such is admittedly a bit nose heavy…Our 200mi one way trip to the higher desert went smoothly..
