Towing question for large trailer
#11
#12
I have a 2015 LR4 and I tow a 2020 Grand design Imagine XLS 23BHE so I’m shorter than you and I’m at around 6,000lbs loaded for a trip. My tongue weight is around 600lbs depending on how I load things. I can tell you that I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable towing anything larger than what I have. Stopping it’s totally fine. Power on the flats is fine but going over mountain passes is slow going.
I’m not using a weight distribution hitch but I’m exploring the option as my rear axle weight is at 4,400lbs when towing. That’s over the axle rating. I had my two small boys (3 and 6) in the back seats and really not much gear in the cargo area.

This setup is very similar to what I am looking to run --- actually this model is on my short list!

Not sure why. I plan to run over to a Cat Scale soon and weigh just the LR4 and see what my front/rear axle weights are with no trailer. Then I'll hook up the trailer and get it with the trailer. My one thought could be that the Cat scale I initially weighed at was potentially off. I have a different Cat scale about 30min from my house and will try that one.

given that we were loaded about the same as before and my weighsafe hitch showing between 600/650lbs I don’t understand how my other scale reading showed 4,400lbs on the rear axle. We should have been well under that. Either the other Cat scale is off or my weighsafe hitch is off.
