I'm not sure how the CAT numbers brought you to this conclusion. Perhaps I am missing something?

I'm not sure I can adjust the Anderson Hitch any tighter. I did notice that some heavier items that I usually pack on the floor behind the front seats had gotten moved back to the back end of the SUV. I'm going to try one more weight at the end of our trip for comparison.

And yes, my rear axle is also a bit problematic: Rated for 3420 lbs. and we were at 3440. Another reason for not going with the heavier more standard WDH.

I got the trailer weight by unhooking it for the third weigh in.Total with the trailer (the same in weighs 1 & 2) was 9540 lbs. The total without the trailer was 5680, with a difference of 3860, or 360 above 3500.

I can't remember what our TM's axle rating is.
