I don't have the tech manual right here, but I do have one at work, so I
can get you the exact weight and send it tomorrow. As far as towing with a
pick-up, I would advise against it. First of all, it is set up with air
brakes, so you have no way of controlling the brakes. Second, it sits high
enough with the 900 X 20 tires that it slopes forward even on a 3/4 ton
pickup. I did tow one about 30 miles with my 3/4 ton Ford 4X4 and it
wanted to push me around some. It was empty and I know that with a load,
it would be uncontrolable.
Hope this helps.
