Frequently asked questions

Is tow rating or payload the real limit?
Often payload. The hitch or pin weight plus your passengers and cargo must fit within the vehicle's payload, many trucks hit payload before tow rating.
Why use loaded weight, not dry weight?
You tow the trailer loaded with water, gear, and propane, dry weight understates reality, sometimes by over 1,000 lbs.
