Al -
I'm glad you cleared that up. And I'm glad you now have a somewhat better tow vehicle. I was about to ask if you used your spare time to clear unexploded mines from combat areas. It would be on a par with what you described.
On the subject of the TrailManor site, and towing recommendations, I have to disagree with you. TrailManor is one of the few sites that specifically tell you that you must NOT use dry weight in your towing decisions. And it gives some advice about how much extra weight you should consider.
Most trailer manufacturers' sites let you blunder along using dry weight. TrailManor says "Adding options, batteries, gear, fluids can increase loaded weights as much as 1000 pounds above the base weight of a specific trailer. You should add 500-1000 pounds to the base weights to estimate the actual towed weight."
