I like the look of JD's setup. What's the approx. pin weight on that one?
I have not run it over the scales yet so this is just my educated guess. If the trailer is right at GVWR, 2500 pounds on the pin is a safe estimate. For the same trailer, I have seen many reports of actual pin weights in the 2100-2400 range.
