20K empty sounds more like it. Thanks for looking into it. Loaded it would be in the 23K plus plus range as most go. Looking at close to a 5K pin on it then.
I don't want to get too far into the truck issue but to say a 3500 will not be overloaded on GVWR or maybe even rear axle would be suspect. Do a simple calculation...take your trucks GVWR off the door sticker, weigh your truck as it is with hitch, two people and full of fuel. Then add the 5K for the pin weight. See what you get. If you have the rear axle weight from when you weighed the truck on its own,, again add the 5K and see how it compares to the rear GAWR on the sticker. If you come in under then yahoo. If not then you can decide.
I do think its a great trailer but most likely will fall into the 450 and MDT category. Combined weight will be like 33K with a 450 or 3500.
