I bought a tongue weight scale with the intention of using it to help adjusting what I thought was a 2300lb tongue weight on a 4500lb boat/trailer setup. The trailer is new, custom built, and I was really concerned that I was overloading the rear axle on my truck (max weight rating 4150lbs). So look below at the pictures of the two weighs that I did last week on a CAT scale. First picture is with the trailer, and for the second weigh I unhooked the trailer and weighed just the truck. Third picture is the tongue weight of 450lbs shown on the scale. So I'm a bit confused. And still a bit concerned that there's too much weight on the rear axle. But I can't figure out the huge discrepancy between the CAT scale weights and the tongue scale readout. Any opinions on what the deal is here?
