Best way to gage weights--take the GROSS weight or the unit, not the dry weight, hitch weight of fiver is generally figured at 20% of GROSS, not dry, to know what weight could be placed on the rear axle. Then compare that with RAWR (Rear Axle Weight Rating). It current rear axle weight as loaded +20% of gross of proposed trailer is close to or higher than RAWR, then not a recommended situation.
