2000 Excursion Weight Rating....
Why is it that the 2000 Ex. hitch receiver is rated at 1000 lbs tongue weight (with WD hitch) and all other years of Ex. have 1250 lbs for tongue weight?
Is the hitch receiver actually different or is it that the Ex. "on the whole" is rated less than other years?
Reason I'm asking is that, we are looking at purchasing on new Travel Trailer with tongue weight when loaded likely being around 1150 lbs.
Once WD hitch is applied, I'm guessing (hoping) that at least 150-200 lbs of tongue weight will be transferred back onto the trailer axles.
Any input on what you would do if you were me would be great.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Ken.
Interesting you should mention tires...because the Ex. is getting new tires put on it as I type this.
Ken, I've only got 10,720 posts to catch up to you. Likely in the next day or two that'll be accomplished <grin>.

What brand did you decide to go with?
