Question:

Hello, I am interested in purchasing this CC-255 to carry a Champion 2000 watt generator 50lbs generator on as well as a few logs of firewood. I have a weight distribution hitch on my 2007 toyota 4-runner connected to my new Starcraft AR-ONE 15rb with the following weight related specs: Unloaded Vehicle Weight lbs 2,550 Dry Hitch Weight lbs220 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating lbs3,200 Cargo Carrying Capacity lbs650 Is this safe to do so in terms of weight/safety limits or is this too much tongue weight?

The weight of the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-255 is 65 lbs. You will be putting a 50 lb generator on it plus the weight of firewood. You will need to add all of these weights together and add that as additional tongue weight for your setup. Your WD system will need to have a tongue weight rating that will accommodate the additional tongue weight.

I attached a help article on weight distribution and determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.
