Can somebody tell me what the hitch height of a level Elkmont will be?

Also, I have no idea what the tonque weight will be fully loaded. I think for the version with zero options (~2500#) and unloaded, it is 320#. The trailer I'm buying is about 3000# dry, with a GVW is #4230. So the tongue weight could easily get up to 600# or more depending upon how it's loaded.

Any Toyota Tacoma 4x4 drivers out there with the tow package running something similar? How much does your Taco bed drop withOUT a weight distributing hitch? From your experience, should I be looking at one? I am a little concerned about throwing more weight back on the Elkmont axle, which I think is only rated for 3500#

I'm in Ontario, the trailer is in Texas, and we're trying to make the pickup as smooth as possible.
