Hello,
I'm new to the forums but not GD
We had a 2017 2150RB that I towed with our 2016 Canyon for a couple of years.
We have a motorhome now but feel kind of confined to the campgrounds and would like to go back to TT.
Our future TV is a 2019 Silverado with 5.3L Ecotec3, 3.23 axle rated for 9600 lb.
Trailering Label says:
GVWR 7100
GCWR 15000
GAWR RR 3800
Payload 1717
Curb W 5383
Going to the Spring Show to get a good look at:
2500RL, GVWR 7495, so 12% TW would be 899
23LDE, GVWR 6995, so 12% TW would be 839
22MLE, GVWR 6995, so 12% TW would be 839
I think I didn't know any better and overloaded the canyon once or twice and want to be safer this time around. It had a Reese pro series 750 Lb TW hitch with friction sway.
I did eventually get a Sherline scale so I can get tongue weights now.
I am looking to see if anyone has used the weighsafe WDH with smaller TT like we are looking at, seems a bit overkill rated for 15000 but I really like the built in scale.
Other WDH I would think might be good for this would be an Andersen or BlueOx SwayPro or TrackPro maybe. I found the Reese noisy and messy with the grease
Regards,
John
