Hi all, was wondering if anybody knew why the rating was so low? Structurally it would appear to be capable of a lot higher weight rating? Is it to do with the "see-saw" effect / as in adding more weight than that may impact the tongue weight too much? Is it that the frame isn't capable of supporting more? The "bounce" effect being so far back from the axles?
Reason I ask is I would like to add a scooter carrying rack on the back. Total weight with rack and scooter would be 550lbs. I am not concerned with tongue weight issue as I am well above the claimed stock tongue weight after mods. . Do not operate rig off pavement so always on relatively smooth pavement. Main concern is frame integrity.. I would be adding additional tie downs to stop/reduce any movement of the rack. Thoughts??
