Ford states the max tongue weight for non weight distribution is 600 lbs I believe (going off memory). If yours are not adjustable, then moving boat fwd or back on trailer will change tongue weight, as will full load of boat., is your boat on a tandem axle trailer or tripleIf you move back back.you need to move the winch as well to support your boatRemember.to light a tongue may result in fishtailing of towed trailer, to much also effects steering if wd is not used.Couple of things going on here. You may just need to move ballast around on your boat trailer to lower or raise the tongue weightMy last boat it was a simple matter of sliding the wheels fwd or back. Thats 700 lbs.which most likely exceeds your weight carrying portion rating of the hitch on the truck, 500 lbs is your dead weight rating for the factory hitchTires when towing.has been max inflation pressure cold when towing or carrying heavy loads for me.Then later you could drop them to bring ride back in the more comfy settingBoat trailers generally you dont use WD set up, but you could since your over the dead weight (weight carrying capacity) of the hitchI would see what your tongue weight is first.
So you have a total rear axle tire capacity of 4733 lbs, still above the max rating of 4,300 or so (I didn't own an EL so I don't know if it get's a bump from the standard) but close.That being said you should run the rear tires at 40-42 psi mark. If I am not mistaken the tires are rated at 2,601 lbs less 10% due to the being mounted on a Light Truck / MPV. That being said 35 PSI is for the weight the truck shipped at, 44 PSI is for the maximum rated load. You will have suspension compression with 800 lbs of hitch weight just like you would if you loaded four 200 lbs guys in the 3rd and 2nd rows.
Thats not to say its not there but ford does not state anything about it.Wheels capacity and tire capacity stamped is what you have to go by.22" wheels are very low. Perhaps this is helping me by keeping the majority of the weight at the back of the trailer and not forward.I'm thinking that going with EOH (which will help with smoothness of braking and accelerating from a stop) in addition to a surge-brake compatible WDH may be my best bet.Question - does the WDH actually help to take weight OFF the hitch/back of the truck? So instead of 800 pounds on the tongue it will be a bit less?I just looked again the 2wd el and non el both have 9200 for tow rating.I could find zero about derating the tires capacity based on light truck or mpv type vehicle. The tongue is actually two feet longer than most use for this size of the boat and the boat is all the way to the rear, so I have a lot of "empty" space past the bow, which does make it easier to maneuver the trailer. Granted, I rarely tow any distance more than 8 miles with a full tank of fuel, or the dogs in the back of the SUV, but damn.I think I will definitely put 40-44 psi in the rear tires when towing.Trailer is twin axle Owens and Sons. I've done some recalculating, factoring in trailer weight, full tank of fuel, gear, hard top, motor, hull, fresh water, ice, dive tanks - holy crap, I think I'm closer to pushing 8000 pounds!So at 10% tongue weight I'm at 800 pounds. When loaded you are probably close to 4,100 lbs or 87% of the tires rated capacity.Thanks for the information.
