Default Re: Weight Distribution Hitch for Ute + Car Trailer

Still chewing over this one. Have linked a Ford brochure for the model.

By my reading of this (P.3, “Vehicle Masses”) I have a GCM of 4245kg for my ute, unless a WDH is fitted, which then adds a further 630kg.

Obviously, that would be working a 20 year old ute pretty hard! What I’m mostly looking at, is ensuring that my towing is nominally compliant and therefore not voiding insurance. Likely errands include taking any of the project cars around the traps for glazing, welding or straightening; resulting ATMs should fall below that “2300kg” figure cited by Ford when using a WDH.

That said, it would look odd to see a Falcon ute towing another Falcon ute on a trailer.
