I have a 2020 Ram 3500 SRW 8ft box with 4212lb payload capacity and 19,930 tow capacity.
I was looking at only 2 wheel 5er's with GVWR's around 17k because the next step up is right at my tow capacity and I figured the pin weights would be over my payload.
Just out of interest, I ended up looking at the 3 wheel options and noticed that many of them actually have almost the same pin weight as the 2 wheel ones (~3100). Is it because they put more on the axles since they have 3 of them?
Even some of their UVW is only 1500. So alot of the added GVWR is for the CCC.... So I won't necessarily be close to my tow capacity either.
An example is the Grand Design Momentum 398m. UVW: 15k, GVWR: 20k, Pin weight: 2,980 (lower than the 2 wheel one I was looking at!).
I plan on carrying a 2100# SxS in the back. I've read in some places that with toys in the back the pin weights could be surprisingly light.
Is anyone towing one of these 3 wheelers with a SRW 1 ton? with a toy in the back? Does anyone have sample pin weights?
NOTE: I just want to pre-empt the posts about a dually being better. Yes, I know that a semi-truck would be even better. I won't be using this 5er super often, and if I will , then I have no problem getting a dually. My concern is to not overload anything.
