if towing capacity is over 3000lb but tongue weight is only 165lbs...how does that make sense when a proper trailer load always has a tongue weight of 10-15% of total weight?
in what situation can you be pulling a 3500lb load and have a tongue weight of only 165lbs?
I have looked at several used pop-up with gross weights under 2000lbs...but their tongue weights are ALL over 165 lbs. as a matter of fact the only pop-ups under 165lbs are all of the utra weight variety under 1500lbs unloaded weight.
before you start to quote me your make model and it's low tongue weight i'm rather curious to under what circumstance could someone come close to the max towing capacity and still meet tongue weight specs...
understand the limitations of unibody but this tonque weight seems way to light...
