Do have an idea of how much it weighs fully loaded? I bought a Lowe's trailer years a go to take fishing hunting and camping, if I get over 500 lbs I have to down shift to 4th gear up some inclines. I have the Dana 44 rear with 3.73, and when I think of regearing

my Lowe's trailer added rack on tongue and spare
is when I load up the trailer.

I'm pretty sure thinking through the numbers that it is mostly in the 100-1200lb range fully loaded. As far as gearing goes I do have 5:13's and it can slow me down on long trips... I still can do 70, but some hills I have to let back on to keep out of third gear... It will take most hills in 4th, with the right amount of momentum and watching the tach. I don't mind dropping to third... but there goes all of your gas mileage if you run around in 3rd all the time!
