Thanks.
Then my assumption is false.
For example, a 750lb tongue weight cannot be reduced by using a WDH to transfer weight to the front axel. The 750lbs remains on the tongue regardless but, only the rear axel weight has been reduced.
Those things are price gouging expensive. A “U” bolt connected to some c channel (possibly with a flat bar suspension/ brace) connected to your deflector of choice could be done at a fraction of the cost.
Ok, I’ve been operating with knowledge and some assumptions. I’m looking to answer the assumptions.
I’m looking for answers from professionals, those that are trained and licensed, and those that are highly experienced. If you aren’t either of these please add to this but keep what you’ve been...
I’ve been thinking about your “never been to the mountains” comment. From my time in Colorado, I understand that everybody who lives there thinks that they are the only people with mountains. The fact is that only a part of your state has mountains, the other part does not. Also, being careless...
Thanks, and that’s what I believe. I’ve seen online where some people interpret that SAE J2807 allows for around 70lbs of hitch to be taken off of payload (because it’s factored into the standard), it’s confusing.
In this article, Myth 7 is what I am referring to...
This has confused me under weight for some time.
The equipment, I think, includes 70 lbs for a hitch. If you have a 100 lbs hitch, do you only add 30 lbs hitch weight to payload and allow 70 lbs to tongue weight or is it still all 100 lbs to hitch weight and payload?
Did you miss the “for me” part. A 6000 lbs trailer with a 6400 lbs towing capacity gives a 6.6% reserve. That’s probably okay at sea level.
The same trailer on the Ranger gives you a 25% reserve but, with a WDH you probably can’t exceed ~12% tongue weight with passengers and, a nearly empty...
in my case, my trailer runs about 5500-6000lbs loaded. That is just not enough for me, especially at altitude. The payload is great for the WDH though.
So, just saw this. Ford’s reveal was far superior, in fact it keeps revealing. First reveal was no rebound control in the shocks, then A/C failure, then transmission shuttering/ DPFE sensor, and one day EGR and turbo failure. Can’t wait for the camera to start acting up. Ford’s 2019 Ranger...
My truck started doing this some time ago and, I was annoyed.
Then my wife complained and I got really annoyed so in these forums I learned about the DPFE sensor. I saw that some people said it stopped shuddering when they accelerated more briskly or the RPMs raised like from shifting into...
