    I couldn't remember, so I stepped it off (a 12" boot comes in handy.) 250wb. The trailer is a foot shorter than a CX-09, plus the front crossmember is about a foot further back from the kingpin.
    Most RWD-biased SUVs are fairly well-balanced front to rear. Turning it around would make almost no difference.

    I see. I knew that the URS trucks that loaded BMWs on a day cab got heavy on the steers when they back one up close to the cab with 3 on the tractor. I'm sure your truck loads a bit different just was what I was looking at.

    Interesting. The truck was ordered that way I suppose? Or will they not put a rack on a longer wheelbase

    I was talking to someone the other day who was talking to them about a new rack on his current truck, and he said something about going trailer only because his WB was wrong. So may be they only work off that one WB.

    We swapped chassis with the dealer as ours were held up in production, this was supposed to be to our normal spec (except for the Ultrashift,) but I didn't see the build sheet on this one. (I piggyback off the bosses order for his buying power) I do remember the WB on the initial order being different from Cottrell by a couple inches, though.

    If I do have something heavy driven on #1 like a Tahoe I leave it back a foot or so from the front and split deck it. That transfers enough weight back and gets my height down also. The Tn scale coming out of Al showed I was just under 14,600. That scale has never given me the bypass even when I am 13,000 or so on the steer and 77,000 gross.

    Good to see those Fords getting some miles on them before they break down.

    046CC5D7-9370-4FF0-950A-56D8F9C939F0.jpeg I will have owned this RAM for 15 years in January 2022 and I am the original owner. In a couple years after they work the bugs out of the Ford Lightning, a Ford will be taking its place.
