JX450 Pin Weight

[bjogan]

We just made a deposit on a 2021 JX450. A little apprehensive about the pin weight. I talked to DRV and they claim the unloaded pin weight is 4,400 pounds. Seems a bit heavy. That said, a 1,250 pound Trike in the garage will go a long way toward unloading the pin. I doubt that I put an equal amount in the front. However, I don't want to have to rely on putting my Trike in the garage every time I tow the trailer.

Does anyone have any real world weights to share? Rear axel weights are not very helpful. Need the actual pin weight.

I currently have a GMC 3500 HD DRW Denali with a payload capacity of 5,296. However, about 800 pounds of that is eaten up with a 60 gallon fuel tank, passenger, etc.

No doubt that the truck will haul the trailer with ease. The concern is with the vertical load on the truck.

Thanks for your input.
