There are a few ways to determine what bolt pattern you have on your '60s Serro Scotty trailer wheels with the most common being that you measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of one directly across for an even number of bolt holes or from the center of one to the farthest edge o one of the farther bolt holes for an odd number of bolt holes (see attached photo).
The most common bolt hole hole pattern for a 13" wheel is 5 on 4-1/2" like what you see on the Dexstar Conventional... view full answer...
Your owners manual will give you the towing capacity of your vehicle. The hitch receiver, like # C12130 has a higher capacity rating, but you will be limited to the manufacturer's specs. The hitch although rated for more, does not increase your vehicle's rating. In towing, the weakest rating of any of your parts is the one that is your maximum rating of all your parts. In this case, your limit will be 2000 lbs max towing capacity. view full answer...
Probably but you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the capacity of your 2004 Mercury Mountaineer. Provided the gross weight of the Chevy S10 and tow dolly is under the capacity the Mountaineer can pull it. Based on what I saw at the very least it is rated for 3,125 pounds. Consult the owners manual to confirm. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch Class III hitches we offer for your 2009 Mercury Mariner have tongue weight (TW) ratings of 525-lbs. Both of these are sister brands to Reese.
The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 itself weighs about 50-lbs. This means that if your hitch has a 525-lb TW capacity then after you account for the weight of the carrier it will have a remaining capacity of about 475-lbs. Your hitch will have a safety sticker that indicates its TW rating, as will your... view full answer...
Yes, addition of a weight distribution system can with a compatible and properly-rated trailer hitch receiver result in an increase in that hitch's tongue weight and/or gross trailer weight capacities. The safety/warning sticker on a hitch will indicate if it is rated for use with a weight distribution system and what the increased ratings are when one is installed.
Some vehicles themselves may also have increased tongue weight and/or gross trailer weight capacities when a weight distribution... view full answer...
The way in which you have described installation of the spring bars is very common. To determine if the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 has enough capacity to lift the trailer and truck (when coupled together) you will need to look at how much tongue weight is at the hitch when the truck and trailer are loaded and ready to tow. I have linked an article on determining tongue weight for you that should help.
Basically if the tongue weight is under 5,000 pounds then the... view full answer...
