Yeah, it really didn't squat much. It's just under 3k with trailer and fuel and right around 225lbs of tongue weight. It's a little under the recommended range of 9-15% but the rig is the smoothest towing setup I've ever owned so I've never bothered to shift the boat forward. The engineer in me thinks it has something to do with how the boat sits so low and between the trailer wheels instead of riding on top of the trailer like a lot of rigs I've towed. Back when I had my Expedition I'd regularly tow at 75mph and wouldn't know it was there it was so stable. Since I switched to light duty crossovers (Murano then this CX-9) I've dialed it back to 65 though. Still wishing the CX-9 had an overdrive (6th gear) lockout without having to resort to full manual mode.
