I tried to provide you with a picture but it was asking for a url and I didn’t know how to do that so here are the figures from the cat scale this morning. I think I understand but the tongue weight is most confusing to me, too heavy if 420 lbs but ...
Hey folks, I’m looking for a new tow vehicle for a rig coming in at 2700 lbs, loaded, per the scale. I decided to trade down to a more modest unibody suv like the highlander, telluride or similar with tow ratings of 5000 lbs.vs my customary Tahoe or...
Are most of you making your own extended run systems or buying a kit that is already mostly assembled for your Honda’s ?Any input on what you are did would be appreciated. I looked at the berg system and it seems fine other than the cap will no longe...
Do you know what the cause of engine surge is on my inverter generator? It is 28oo watts and with no load or eco mode off, it runs smooth. Or, a heavy load, it runs smooth. However, with a low to medium load, like a heater on low or medium, the e...

I land in the same place as JRscooby, seems to be 320 on the tongue and 2440 on the axle and 2760 all in TW. Unless someone can prove otherwise, I don’t see how it can be 420 but open to those who are convinced otherwise.As far as handling, I just...
So my rig weighs 2760 gross with 11.59% tongue weight at 320lbs or 11.59%, right? From an unbraked trailer standpoint, I am 1765lbs over the gvwr. The vehicle is rated for 1000lbs unbraked and 3500 braked. Recognizing there is a decent amount of c...
I didn’t mean for this thread to turn into such a long debate, although there are a number of useful responses, so thank you. All of this came from the fact that I was unaware of these very low thresholds and the seemingly conservative approach fro...
