tow package question?
for the member engineers or those that like to understand weights and carry loads. I am weighing out the loads and limits on my tow package with CL III hitch and towing a TM and carrying a motorcycle.
2003 Tundra SRS extra cab, 2wd, 4.7 l v8 with optional tow package and Firestone Ride Rite air bags.
stock spec's indicate, wthout the helper springs, the tow weight limit is 7200lbs Toungue weight-500lbs, w/o WDH
2002 3124KB, estimated weight- 3200lbs. unloaded.
2006 C50c (800cc) Suzuki Boulevard, full bagged, accessories, est weight- 650lbs.
My questions are.... has the tongue weight limit changed with the weight of the motorcycle in the truck bed?
I loaded it yesterday and hitched up the truck and leveled it with the air springs and it all looks solid. Drove it around for a couple of hours and felt safe.
Do I need a WDH? in your opinion?
Does my total tow weight include carrying weight?
thanks,
rv
