harveyrv,

Checked the sticker and the GAWR (rear) is 2800#.
Also, the dry wt on the Taco is published as 3705#.

How is the loading calculated for the GAWR (rear)?
Just a guess here...
.5(dry vehicle wt + payload wt) + 400 (tongue wt max) + ? = X
Fyi, I was planning to probably use a WDH on whichever vehicle used,
so that should shift some of the load to the front.

I don't think I'll exceed it on either vehicle, but curious how it's all figured.

Thanks.

Btw, I think I'll start another thread on brake controllers after doing some research...
I'm getting alot of good info from the forum, thanks again all.

D.
