Max hitch weight

[jbout]

I want to buy a Skyline Aljo 250LT. I plan on using an Equal-iz-er brand hitch. (2005 Tundra AC limited)

UVW 5180
GVWR 6440
Tounge weight Dry 675

Skyline certifies these weights from the factory on each trailer, after options are added. My main concern is the tounge weight, after you add propane, battery, and hitch. Tounge weight could come close to 900#. Is this to much for the Tundra? My manual says not to exceed 730# with weight distrubution.

Recheck your manual, carefully. IIRC, the manual for my '03 says I can go up to around 1100 lbs tongue weight with a weight distributing hitch. 730# sounds about the limit when a WDH is not used.

Ray, I rechecked my manual it says 730# with a weight distributing hitch. For the double cab it says 700#. I looked at the hitch and there is no writing on it. My tow rating is 7300#, my thinking is that they just went with 10% of that.
