With the pin at 3,100# and the truck loaded to travel (full fuel, firewood, extra fuel, hitch, and other crap along with two occupants), the margin is 2,800#. This is what more could be loaded onto the hitch in the rear of the truck. What I'm more interested in is if anyone knows where the weight of the pin of the trailer becomes excessive? At what point are we overloading the frame? If one considers the standard guidelines, going over 25% of trailer gross (in this case, 4,250#) is the line. I'm just wanting to know what others have read or discovered. Using the spec data on the Keystone web pages, it looks as if they are using empty weight and a 20% guideline -- 2,835pin=13,900empty (x) 20%. Everyone I've seem post their real pin is far above that # in spec data.
