The WDH has transferred 40 lbs of the Expedition mass to the trailer. This also means that the weight of the trailer is more than the loaded trailer alone. Now that I think of this, it shouldn't surprise me, but all the more reason to make sure you have good brakes and a good brake controller, and good tires/rims.
You are correct! That's why I said it was interesting. Glad it is only 40 lbs!
