Crossroads 2014 ST Reserve 26RB tongue weight
I bought the above used trailer from a dealer last fall. I tow with a 2010 F150 Lariat (gas) with factory heavy tow pkg. With Covid we just got out camping and I weighed it last week. I'm just 150 pounds over truck GVW with full water and loaded for camping which I can trim out, but I was surprised to find the trailer tongue weight was near 20% (7975 gross trailer, 1600 tongue: hitched trailer loaded axles 6760 pounds, 1215 WD tongue). I use an Equalizer trunnion WD hitch but now may have to upgrade. Anyone else have this experience? I know the full 40 IG water tank in the front adds 400 pounds, but I was expecting something closer to the manufacturer's listed empty tongue weight at 12%.
