Re: Tongue weight?
I have a tandam and I canot even come close to picking up my trailer! I would say it has to be near 400 #.
I have my truck up to 80 mph and not a sway or anything out of it!!
The more weight the better the handling!!
It ias up to you what you want and what you tow with. When I use to have a full size van I had the tounge so light I could lift it with one finger!!
Never had a problem towing cause the van blocked all the wind from getting under the boat.
When I switched to my blazer the ting would want to take flight at 30 mph!! I had to add weight (move boat forward) just to keep it on the road.
It use to be that for every tow truck I had to adjust the weight for that vechile.
Now I just buy full size trucks, beef up the springs and full steam ahead!!
When I had my full size Blazer w/350 4 barr. I was going down the high way lost a tire and never new it till the tire passed me and i looked in the mirror to see sparks flying all ober the place!! I cut right thur the u bolts and all!
Now you no why I have a brand new trailer!! I am hard on them!
