Thank you. This is what I’ve been looking for. Facts.
Looks like your pin weight is 4,520 lbs, which is about right if DRV says the dry weight is 4,400 lbs.
Got to hand it to Ford, that light bed makes all the difference. Our GMC 3500 Denali comes in at a hefty 9,700 lbs without the trailer. Some of that is an aftermarket 60 gal fuel tank and a tool box. Give this, the 4,5020 would put me over 14,000. Funny, the rear axel could take it (10,500).
I’m sure I could pull it, just don’t want to be in a situation where I’m over loaded.
I already ordered a Ram 5500, so that ship has sailed.
Thanks for sharing your weights and happy travels. Can’t wait for our JX450. They’re talking Feb 2022 now.
