2720QB Maximum tongue weight at full load

[tenchi64]

Thinking about buying one.
Couldn't find the maximum tongue weight for 2720 QB fullly loaded.
I figured the max weight is 4,610#. dry weight (2960#) + load capacity (1650#)

Looks like tongue % is 12% so that makes it around 553 lb tongue weight. I know there is varience with placement of load but if we assume most is around trailer axel it should be like that or 13%ish . Plus i doubt i will max it out. Just design for the worse.

Am I off here..

I have a 2016 chevy colorado and towing is not an issue for me. Its payload as i have stuff.

Trail Manor puts the axle further back than most trailer manufacturers do. They do this to make the trailer almost sway-proof, and it works wonderfully well. Most owners can (and do) tow without sway control.

The downside of this axle placement is that it increases the tongue weight for a given trailer weight. It seems to be generally agreed, through many reported measurements, that the tongue weight of a TM is about 14% of the total loaded weight. As you point out, that can vary a small amount due to load placement, but it seems to be pretty accurate.

Hope this helps.
