Loaded down Tundra

Just though I would put some general observations about loading my Tundra down with trash for a trip to the dump tomorrow. Roughly estimating the trash weighs in at 900-1100 Pounds. It includes lots of old heavy machinery parts (on the bottom) as well as miscellaneous junk from around my land.

I did not measure the distance of the bottom of the rear wheel well to the ground before loading it up, so I will post those specs later. However, when loaded they are 35.75 inches from the ground. This was a little more sag than I expected, but there could be more weight in the truck than I am estimating. The two people who assisted me estimated the weight of the trash at 800 and 1350 pounds respectively,

I will post some pics shortly.

When I get a travel trailer later on I would like the rear suspension sag to be much more minimal. What are some options? Trailer weight? Air bag install? weight distribution hitches? etc?

 

Most dumps (at least mine does) weigh you going in and out and then charge you accordingly. It would be interesting to know how the final tally aligns with the estimates.

 

I tow a 30' trailer that weighs in at just under 9300lbs. I have a Reese weight distribution hitch that keeps my rear squat at around two inches. Its over 3.5 inches w/o the WDH. A weight distribution hitch is better than airbags. There is a great video on youtube that explains why.
