Boozer45,
Nope, haven't actually weighed it. It tows great. We have a Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 L V8 Short bed. We have the WD hitch and friction sway with brake controller.

I suppose you're at your Max. GCWR of your tow vehicle?
Your 1/2 ton short bed truck will probably weight close to 5000#, driver only. And your TT will weigh ~5600#, roll-out from dealer with options, battery and 60# of propane, plus a conservitive 1000# of "stuff" for camping, that puts the 28BH-S at around 6500# ready to camp less water, so Truck + TT = 11,500#. That's my GCWR on my F150. With my truck and other happy campers that travel with me (wife and two grown kids) puts me over GCWR by a few hundred pounds. That's what scares the ---- out of me! (insurance liabilitiy). A hungry shark (lawyer) would ruin my future if ever in an unfortunate accident towing out of spec. I know I may seem a bit paranoid, but just trying to weigh my risk.
