Just curious... does anyone know the rough percentage offset that a fully loaded cargo box is designed to take off the hitch?
I know these 5'er toyhaulers are designed with a lot of extra hitch weight to offset the loaded cargo box. I'm just curious how much of a difference that they're designed to make?
Obviously, there's a huge difference per model, how big of cargo box, how many axles, etc, but I'm betting the factory uses a percentage to figure out how much positive weight they need added on the front to properly balance the toyhaulers when loaded in general.
My toy hauler is rated at 2900 lbs hitch weight. Any time we take it out the toy box will be full with two quads and other gear. I drive big quads, so with those plus the weight of gear, I'm betting we'll be close to the 2500-lb cargo rating for the rear on my double axle RW 30C. I'm assuming that much weight will probably take a few hundred pounds off the hitch, but not sure.
Any experience on the scales with this guys, or do I need to wait until my 30C arrives and find out myself?
