Towing capacity is 9400 Trailer is hitch 536 Dry weight 4800 Gross is 6000 I don’t have a weight distribution hitch yet just a plain 2 5/6 ball. Think I can get it home from a 2 hour drive? Any reviews on this trailer also appreciated Lwiddis • View posts Owens River area Senior Member Joined: 08/12/2016 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 05/18/22 03:33pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Yes! Absolutely! You’ll drop in the truck rear but not that much…2 inches. I level with air bags. I do think your tongue weight is too light. Shoot for 13 to 15 percent. * This post was edited 05/18/22 03:48pm by Lwiddis * Winnebago 2101DS TT & 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71, WindyNation 300 watt solar-Lossigy 200 AMP Lithium battery.

You may not need a WDH. theoldwizard1 • View posts SE MI Senior Member Joined: 09/07/2010 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/18/22 03:46pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Safely, NO !

Your receiver should give a dead wt for hitch capability. You may be close, or over a bit, and that tongue weight may be higher than brochure states. If windy, may cause a little sway, so be aware. You are not the first to do what you are planning! Good luck, drive safe, hope you enjoy the new trailer!

Plumb silly from information given, IMHO OP states he just has a ball. Does he have a receiver hitch on the truck, and ball mount? Or is he planning to mount ball on step bumper? Bumper is likely to be to high, which lowers TW. Low TW and tongue high can both cause instability, so it is possible it will not be safe. Another issue using step bumper is shape of tongue may not allow much turning. But as to weight, home from dealer is likely gross about 5200, and tanks and battery mounted on tongue would increase TW, but likely not a lot over ratings.

Every time I hear all these different hitches and receivers I have a brain fart. I will be buying WDH but need something for tomorrow.
