Towing how much squat ?

[CarbonTremor]

Trying to figure out how much the rear end of my tremor is going to squat down towing a 5,000lb boat. I know it really comes down to tongue weight but any info would be appreciated.

Hook up your boat and take a look.

If you look in the towing section there are some towing that weight and it doesn't look like it squats much at all. In the link below (post # 74) the travel trailer is 5000 lbs dry and it's not squatting all that much.

If it helps, with 400-500 lbs in my bed (rack, RTT and camping gear), my rear compresses 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch. Not quite the same as tongue weight, but similar enough.

Yeah, still looks pretty level. I'm supposed to have a top of ball height of between 22" - 24". I believe I'm 23" top of receiver hitch unloaded

Would be nice to test it but its a new boat, picking up 100miles away

Good info, I'm gonna factor in a 2" drop in suspension max
