Looks like I am bumping alot of max's right off the bat with this setup.
Truck weighs out good but the trailer is marginal and the Combined weight s__ks. I was surpised to see the truck empty weight come in at 8300lbs. This kinda shatterred my idea of two harleys and 4 adults in the 3912 next summer in Montana. I pulled it 1000 miles and everything was good on the trip. Combined weight is 24800 with no bikes and minimal gear. When I put the bikes in the garage will it change my pin weight and front axle weight? I am 570lbs under max on the front axle and would like to shift some weight to the front ( I think). I am just trying to massage evrything to get the 'best' of the entire setup.
Also, the Ford combined max is 26000 with the 4.30 gear. I have the tow boss and everything as big as Ford offered but with the 4.10 gear. It appears my truck is the same in every way BUT the Gear ratio so I do not think I will have any brake or suspension issues if I am under 26000....maybe take it ease on the big hills and starting off..
agree???? disagree??? appreciate the input/feedback !
