Hi everyone,
We're looking at an E191BH and want to make sure it will work with our tow vehicle.
Just wondering if anyone with this model can tell us the actual loaded tongue weight that are seeing?
Thanks!

Hard to tell what it is unless it is weighed.
The estimate I would use is the percent of dry hitch weight to UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight), which on your model is 490 to 3320 lbs., or about 15%. I would then take 15% of the GVWR of 4245 and that would give you a tongue weight of about 637 lbs. when at max load. Of course, that will vary according to how you load the trailer, more in the front than rear or vise versa.
I would use 650 lbs. as a hitch weight when fully loaded and would want at least 750 - 800 lbs. rating on the tow vehicle. A 750 lbs. WDH should work OK, but you might want to go with one rated for 1000 lbs. hitch weight.
Using a scale to weigh everything is really the best way to tell where you are, at least for that trip.
