Since we are on the trailer towing angle, I thought I would pass on from CM Trailers on my request for info on one of their new bumper pull models - a two horse aluminum. It weighs 2270 lbs empty [another 2H BP aluminum model, with more 'stuff', weighs in at 3480 empty]. They guesstimate loaded hitch/tongue weight at .17 times the load; if that is accurate, it would put loaded weight [around 5k] at more than our recommended max of 600 lbs. [850?] I think they have it wrong. The horses ride over the two 3 or 5k axles; if you don't load lead ingots in the nose, I would think the hitch/tongue weight, loaded, would be down in the 500 range. I seem to recall from my trips to the scales that my loaded, 4 horse gooseneck add about that to the bed of the F350, making it ride better than empty.
