John,
I was just referring to the pictures in the brochure. As it turned out unless I removed or replaced a cross member I had to mount the ball in front of the axle anyway. Even with the ball 1...

That tongue weight varied but was about 220# 46" behind the axle.

At one time I was at the full 8000# capacity of the truck with a full bed and trailer. It was not pleasant travel but the truck...

John,
Thanks for all the input. Now that I think of it, after towing for a few thousand miles the outer edges of my tires were choppy. I remember thinking it was due to the reduced weight on the...

Doh! Thanks, good idea.
There are fifth wheel and gooseneck set ups for Rangers and other small trucks still made, but most places only know about the heavy duty variety of parts because that is...

Hmmm.... That means if my front is 2300 and my rear is 1300, with a pin behind the axle I will still be nose heavy but closer to even. I will need to find out if this makes sense. I have carried...

John, Thanks a lot for that great info.
I don't think this will work unless I can get a plate that moves the weight forward of the axle while putting the trailer behind it. I wonder if something...

Thanks EMD Driver, I think you may be right but 600# an inch behind the axle probably won't be worse than 250 hanging 3 1/2' behind the axle off the hitch. I am not arguing your points. these were...
