You think I don’t know that ?

Actually 18.7%

I was anticipating about 5K, added a bag to my hitch for that.

I use a spreadsheet for the math, no guessing.

The trailer brand new, leaving the dealer with only water and a few trip essentials was only 3600 pounds pin weight.

From the first overnight stay in this rig I thought it was unbalanced.

Axles near the middle, rear jacks too close to the rear axle. Using all the jacks, walking around the trailer feels like the rig is on the suspension.

I had conversations with two different DRV employees suggesting that the trailers are being built to enable less capability trucks to tow.
