[Rhodes22-list] Varying weights over time

[Tom Van Heule]

IIRC the original weight was supposed to be around 2200.

My trailer is 980, I have weighed it, pic attached.

I go with 350-450 tongue weight.
2012 grand Cherokee V6 with airbags, non towp pkg, really really struggles.
2017 Duramax hasnt noticed the boat was there.

HTH,
