Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the #FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always…
Hey Dusty, I emailed the manufacturer to get the dimensions you are looking for on the #ABS56FR and the overall length is 5-5/32” with the hole spacing of 3-29/32” center to center.
Hi Chris; the reason you don't see it addressed in the video is we typically don't see trailers come in with a pintle hook/lunette ring setup. Gen-Y makes really solid, overengineered products so I expect the Phantom X #GY95XR to perform…
The Brophy Pintle Hook for 2-1/2" Hitches part #BR27FR is designed for a 2-1/2" trailer hitch and maintains a 36,000 lb weight capacity when used correctly. That said, the actual weight capacity of the trailer hitch/vehicle can and usually…
Good morning, Shawn. For taller trucks like your F-350, the #WS97WR with 8 inch drop is usually the better choice, but it really comes down to you measuring to see how much difference there is between the truck's receiver and the trailer's…
Hey Bill thanks for the information. The C865H-9/16 in that axle tag number means you have 8 on 6-1/2 hubs with 9/16" lug studs. The Hydrastar item #HSE7K-T1, you were looking comes with 1/2" lug studs. You'll need the Hydrastar Disc…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hello Dave, thanks for reaching out. The reason for this is certain Jayco models use underslung couplers. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA46VR is only compatible with overslung couplers. Overslung is a lot more common than underslung.…
Hey Terry. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly item #PA46VR does not have turning wheels and those larger, 6-1/2" wide tires, are not going to turn on a dime. You'll have to do some maneuvering with it to pull off a sharp turn. The…
Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. I really wish we did because that would be awesome, but I am sorry to say none of our electric trailer dollies can handle that much of a grade. The closest thing we have would be the Parkit360 Force Electric…
Hi Chris! The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly - 10,000 lbs #PA46VR has a 2 prong plug (see attached image). I will admit to be surprised by that, but that is what they decided to go with. It isn't going to hurt anything though. What are…
The Buyers Products 45 Ton Pintle Hook #337PH45 does not have the 4 inch square bolt pattern but rather uses a different pattern. Vertically the holes are 3 inches on center. Horizontally the top row is 5-1/4 inches on center and the bottom is 6-1/2…
