Dealers do add various options, like A/C, at the factory. So the only way to prevent confusion is to advertise the base dry weight w/o any options. They do weigh each trailer at the end of the line and the options are reflected in the sticker weights. |
And what do you do when the -factory- rep twice (2 TIMES) confirms a delivered tongue weight after being asked to confirm their own reported tongue weight, which turns out to be WRONG upon delivery. Not a 100 pounds wrong, but almost 350 pounds wrong. "oops our bad, our website was wrong"...
In any case, the trailer is being modified this month. Axles are being moved forward, fresh tank mounted between. What I originally was told, and thought I was buying, was getting a custom trailer built for my purposes and towing requirements. Trailer was removed from my house a week ago, is currently in Indiana, and will be modified later this month. I'll have it back in August.
Tongue weight will drop from 820 pounds, to 500-550. Right where it was supposed to be.
