    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    *update*. Couldn’t find anything wrong with vehicle. I did change weight distribution head angle and bracket height. With the changes rescaled and back to good wd heights. Just very interesting, since I have all of my weighs(10 so far). And height adjustments on a spreadsheet I am back to...

    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    Thanks for the update! We have quite a bit of towing under our belt and it seems weird the last couple trips. Check hitch on expy and it all seems in order. No bends or cracks. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t changed angle but no way I can check that. I put a regular hitch on and it looks normal...

    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    Hard saying. They are straight and I have the bars rated for 1200 lb tongue instead of 1000 and my tongue weight hovers around 800. I have access to a tongue weight scale. The equalizers are also very thick bars. I think the change is more related to the car. The majority of its 45000 is...

    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    thank you for responding. No in fact it has gotten lighter in the nose as confirmed by a tongue scale. We installed lithium and redid the battery location. Yeah maybe the springs are wearing over time. I check my historical heights and they have lowered 3/4 of an inch in the back.

    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    Essentially yes to all of that. It’s appears as though it’s sagging more which is driving the nose up. It’s almost like the shocks have weakened if that makes sense. Haven’t changed the weight distribution in a long time so it’s the same angle. But the nose is up 3/4 of an inch. And rear...

    Weight Distribution Change and Bad ccd struts

    so I have about 12000 miles towing an 8000 lb TT. 2020 limited with ccd struts and heavy duty tow. So my question is my weight distribution (equalizer 4). Has been dialed in for about 11000 of those miles. Spent a ton of trips to cat scales and got it exactly where I wanted it. Haven’t...

    Coolant temp while towing

    Yeah we see it climbing hills. It is much more pronounced when I am throttling it trying to keep it in gear. The turbos are howling more which I believe is leading to hot water temps. If I am more aggressive with the throttle and or use cruise control it downshifts more and in turn keeps it...

    Weight Distribution Front/Rear

    My 2020 limited max 2020 sits empty with driver and full tank at 3120 front 3220 rear so nearly 5050 split. With our 8000 lb trailer we come in At 4360 on rear axle with full load in car two adults 3-4 kids and canoe on roof. Our front axle sits at 3280. With my equalizer 4 point i put a...

    Question about weight distribution hitches and rear axle weight

    We use the equalizer 4 point. We are at 7 washers for the angle and it transfers everything I need back to get my front end to neutral. It is a great hitch. I haven’t used any other brands but it is def better than my original fastaway e2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2019 limited towing mpg

    On a 2020 we get 8.5 on premium gas with an 8000 lb trailer. I get to 9.5 with my canoe on top!!! Premium gas helps almost 1 mpg or more and the price increase over the long run is cheaper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
