Didn't I say 2000lbs?


Actually, on the way back from the dealer it was 1930 lbs. according to a highway weigh station




!0 to 15 % is the accepted ratio. You are a tad low. Where you place

your batteries fuel and gear might change the ratio a bit. If your

vehicle is sagging, you might try helper springs or spring shocks.


Up here they recommend 8-12%

As long as it tows straight at highway speeds with no tendency to sway
or fishtail, your tongue weight should be OK.
