How to Find Pin Weight of a Gooseneck Trailer
Question:
Will this work on a gooseneck trailer?
asked by: Tim M
Helpful Expert Reply:
I don't think the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 would work well for a gooseneck trailer. For one it only goes up to 2,000 pounds which isn't going to be enough for a lot of goosenecks. You would also have to find a way to get the trailer on the scale with it sitting level which doesn't seem very safe.
The best way to determine the pin weight of a gooseneck is to weigh your truck on a commercial scale once with the trailer connected and once without. Then subtract the difference and this is the pin weight of your trailer. Only weigh the truck not the trailer.
