I was wondering about that, but most trailer sites said 1500lbs. But as stated above you legally still need brakes as it's about your GVW, not what you're hauling.

M1101 Maximum Vehicle Weight 3400 lb (1542 kg) A quick search of CA law says that a trailer GW over 1500Lbs require brakes, so unloaded you are 40Lbs from that #.

Psst....make up a date.. Did you check the Id plate on the frame?

Larger capacity pintle hitches usually have a larger space for the lunette to move around and minimizes the issue. I haven't had the issue with either a 7 or 10 ton hitch.

Actually. it's the worse advice for tires. What's on the side of the tire is the Maximum PSI. Auto/Truck manufacturer engineers spend a great deal of time coming up with them and they are located on the door pillar. Running you tires at the max PSI is a good was to wear them out prematurely...

You sure the side boards are metal? They look like standard fiberglass ones...never seen metal.

I wouldn't bother with the SF97 if you are going the main route. With all of mine I have never bothered and has never been a problem. But YMMV.

Even easier and less expensive is to get a tag from Maine. http://www.mainetrailerregistrations.com/pricing/

There were some great deals in the Portsmouth auction on Thursday. Thought about bidding on a few and then decided I didn't want a 8 - 10 round trip. Post pictures of the one you won.

Nope, that's not what I claimed. I have said to be used the way the manufacture says it can be used in. Missed that part eh Einstein. What you claim with Zero.zero ounce of evidence: we'll all wait while you back you claim up. Oh and post pictures to prove it. Well, one of has had an...

Funny you're the one here claiming how unsafe it is yet have never provided one example of a hitch or receiver catastrophically failing as you say they will from towing a 3k trailer. Just more BS you can't back up.

From the 50's to the early 70's and any of several manufactures. Awesome paint job!

Don't know how often and don't care, it's their responsibility. If you can do the simple things to ensure your vehicle is in the proper working condition, you are not competent enough to do more complex tasks. That's why some states require annual safety inspections, because there are so many...

Proper maintenance is a key feature in towing safely. Checking bolts and mounting points is part of that routine as is replacing bolts and fixing worn parts. We do it all the time, as it's part of the drivers daily inspection and during PM at the shop. Btw, Lateral forces are from the side...

They commonly bend...really, or is that what you have just seen posted here? Golly gee skipper, ya think they bend because there are forces applied to it that it wasn't designed for? Yep, some manufacturers have recommendations some don't, follow your manufactures recommendation. Yep...

Since they are engineered for all the above except for aggressive off roading (that's why the .mil pintles rotate) which I wouldn't use a 12" riser for, I wouldn't worry about it. And since we have had all of the above happen, aggressive braking, accidents, maneuvering, ect, experience tells me...
