I must thank and congratulate you Jay for the very nicely detailed accounting of your weights. It is interesting to compare them to mine even though both our vehicles are different.

I am not sure it is possible to attain an 80% margin with any of the heaviest Montana's unless you go to a truck like Captain Joe, the important thing is you know you are minimally under specs and can add/load items based on that information. Sadly the greatest majority of owners do not know what their units weigh.

You did not mention your GAWR on your Montana, I suspect if you have 7k axles and Marathon tires were the original tires then your rating on the VIN sticker on the trailer would be 6750 per axle. I wonder if you would mind checking that figure just for my information only.

Keep an eye on the DW as they always seem to find extra things they "must" take along, even if they don't use them....


You guys make me laugh, how true about our DW! My wife is the main reason our old Ti gained weight.....

I do have the 7000# axles and would assume 6750 pounds per axle rating. I will check when home to confirm and get back to you.

Thanks again,

Jay
