I just bought an EBay take off for my spare wheel.

Somewhere under towing, I have posted a CAT scale worksheet to help you get your weights. I don’t have internet for at least a week, so hopefully a forum search will turn it up for you.

Forgot to add, yes the total amount counts against your payload, but the weight of your hitch is not part of the tongue weight.

My understanding has always been tongue weight is just that and hitch weight is part of your payload.

Car hauler trailers aren’t as cheap, and when you get to your RV site you have to find space for the trailer and truck which many times doesn’t work.

Tongue weight for proper balance and truck payload are a genuine consideration. My trailer’s gross is 5K and I am typically around 4600-4700lbs and 560lbs on the tongue. I got the Ranger set up with 1827 for payload. Loaded, I am below my 12,100 combined, but only about 400-500lbs.

An airstream is probably the only non fully molded fiberglass trailer I would consider. I really like the Equalizer WDH, and yes to the SCAB. I too have 4600’s and Blue Sumos with “factory” brake controller, although I prefer the P3. Nice weight that hits the Ranger sweet spot. That rig...

I did the 4600’s as well and am quite happy.

I’m set up for the eclipse too, but in predicted clouds. I think there will be a 5 minute hole in just the right place and time for me. :)

The BAK came with foam, the Truxedo did not. I’ve added additional weather stripping, but both still leak, and both have had durability issues. Neither manufacturer has provided great support in my case. As I said, no more roll ups for me.

I have a BAK Revolver 4. It leakes some up front. My other truck has a Truxedo roll up. It leaks a bit at the front too. All in all, neither roll up has been great, and from now on I’ll likely buy folders.

Went fine today. Another 300 and I’ll be at my eclipse location which is forecast for clouds, but I know I’ll get. 5 minute cloud break at the right time in the right place. :like:

Went 90-100 miles today. Half of that on sandy roads. No problem. Will plan on towing 350 miles tomorrow on 2 lane. We’ll see, but I don’t expect any problems.

Fan hose has been and is still solid. I’d suspect mice first, but just changed the cabin air filter before I left and no signs.

Went about 160 miles today. 150 of that towing 4600lbs. Mostly flat, some wind, and a few rolling hills. No issues.

Sorry to hear that with everything you have had to deal with about parents on top of it. I don’t know a thing about thyroid cancer. I think all I can do is pray given my distance, but if I can do more I will.

We are traveling with our trailer. We were out yesterday sightseeing. Stopped for gas. Got back in and CarPlay wouldn’t connect. The E locker randomly locked and wouldn’t unlock. Then ASS went weird. Then tow haul wouldn’t engage. After shutting down for a half hour I got E locker off, and...

Still praying. I hope we can all reflect on Easter morning and realize what hope it brings to those who trust Jesus.

Mine squealed for the first 25K, but don’t anymore.

No way I read all 154 pages. I read like 50 and then messaged Mike to find out how to get one. It’s great to have it. Mt PPE pan drain, and a couple of bolts torqued to spec have dripped a little. I tightened, just a little more. I don’t want to break a pan bolt. Hopefully I got it. I have...
