You can get a longer shank, and also lighter bars for your E2. The dealer put 800/8000 lb bars on mine for my 4000 lb trailer. Thanks to recommendations from here I bought 600/6000 lb bars and have been a happy camper.

Thank you, I bought a courtesy demo, (2021 Velocity Blue FX2) it's got 2500 miles and I think it's optimistic on the fuel. Thanks

On my last truck, I did a procedure that adjusted the mpg calculations. Can someone point me in the direction?

I wouldn't call backing across a interstate safely backing out.

A car backed out in front of me. Fortunately, I was alone, a passenger would have been in bad shape.

Totaled my 7 month old.

Update: I received the 6000 lb bars, and took 1 washer out of the spacer pack, then raised the L brackets 1 notch. Took it camping this weekend, and it was good until I got on the interstate and tried 65, then the truck was very squiggly. Stopped at the truck stop on the way home to find a...

Yall do realize that it's all the same gasoline, right. The only difference between the high dollar branded gas and "off brand" is the detergent additive. All gasoline since the mid 90's is required to have detergent additive. I have been driving a gas tanker for the last 30 years, and it all...

I just got off the phone with the hitch manufacturer, according to him, the 8000 lb bars are fine. He did say it an adjustment issue with the L brackets being too low, but I tried raising them up 1 hole(as opposed to the 2 that he told me) but I couldn't get the bars over the bracket, so I need...

If you just measure the box itself, my camper is 7 ft wide, and a shade over 7 ft tall. So 49 square feet, and some of that hidden behind the truck

I ordered a set of 6000 lb bars. When you weigh the rig, do you have the bars hooked up, or in the back of the truck

Well this is interesting, I just went out and measured the front end with no trailer, and with it hooked up, no bars. The front end only dropped 1/4 of in inch, the rear moved down about 3/4s. With the bars hooked up.

12.5 ish

I will check it Sunday, and weigh it next weekend. I drive tractor trailers for a living, close to 3 million miles hauling gasoline, and it's feels similar to a dry 5th wheel on a tractor-trailer.

I bought a Wolf Pup 16HE Saturday. It weights 3500ish empty with 420 TW according to FOREST River. The dealer installed a E2 WDH, with 8000 lb bars for some reason, and lowered the L brackets down all the way. Left there and went straight to the campground. Every time a truck passed us, it...

I have narrowed my camper down to a Coleman Light LX 1605fb that is listed as having a 368 lb dry hitch weight. Will I have trouble towing it home with no WDH? I hope to pick it up this weekend if it looks as good in person as it does on the net. I have an old, rusty, Reese hitch with 750 lb...

I have an Echo brake controller which has worked well.

I am looking to go from a pop up to a travel trailer. I would prefer to keep the weight below 4000, but it seems most of what I am seeing are around 450-500 lbs tw. Will that be easily handled by my Ranger? It's 2021 XLT will the FX2 package.

How does using a wdh affect tongue weight rating?

Once you set it, you don't need to have your phone with you.
