So, yesterday someone on Facebook asked for the receiver height (the bottom of it) on a stock Overland with the trailer package.
Well, it's 18 1/2".
So, today, I hitched up my trailer, 27' hitch to bumper, to get ready for a trip and just outta curiosity measured the receiver bottom height. It's 16". That's a 2 1/2" drop. This is also with my WDH hooked up. I'm guessing that's not too bad. NO air bags either.
Now, my trailer is around 5,300 lbs totally loaded but I didn't fill the 36 gallon fresh water tank so that drops about 300 lbs so we're looking at around 5,000 lbs. Unloaded weight is 4,700 lbs. Unloaded hitch weight is 430 lbs so loaded I'd guess what? 500 lbs? Still within the limits.
Anyone else measure theirs unhitched, then hitched?
Curious as to what you get. Please list approximate trailer size, weight, and at least brochure tongue weight.
