    Towing Tongue Weight Isata 5 28SS

    I have seen some conflicting info on the rated tongue weight of the Isata 5 28SS Is it 750 pounds or 1,000 pounds? Or does it ultimately not matter as long as the chassis isn't overloaded on either axle once fully loaded? I have a heavy tilt deck trailer that I put my Jeep Gladiator on and am...

    Towing a XLS 22RBE

    I'm looking at the Imagine XLS 22RBE (published numbers are 6995 GVWR, 5125 EW, and empty tongue weight of 497). If I figure a max TW @ 15% of GVWR, that would put it at 1049 lbs. of TW. My payload on my F150 is 1736 so that takes up more than I feel comfortable with. I haven't seen what the...
