Total 5500

Check my math here:

Trailer Weight 4560
Tongue Weight w Chains engaged 600
Tongue with no chains 820

Limits for my 2005 Tundra Double Cab
Gross Combined Weight Rating:11800 - Under by 1800 lbs
Towing Capacity: 6800 -- under by 2240

Not sure what the limits are for the trailer, I'll have to look at the sticker again.

Looks like I'm well within limits for everything which is what I expected. I owned a 3500 lb rated 2000 Lexus RX300 when I bought the Trailmanor but it did NOT work out with a couple of short test tows that I did. I don't remember what the literature said the trailer weighed when I bought it but it was below 3500 lbs so I gave it a shot. I don't see how that trailer could ever be that light.

With what I've learned here, I was not surprised the see the trailer weigh over 4000 but 4500 did surprise me.

WDH is doing exactly what it is designed to do. Front axle weight with chains engaged is within 100 lbs of what it is with the truck unloaded.


*By "chains" I mean the chains in the weight distributing hitch
