    I’m looking for the tongue weight of my truck. I’m looking to purchase a hauler for my husband’s electric wheelchair that weighs 320 pounds. I’ve looked in the manual and have been unable to find it

    There should be a sticker on the hitch. It may be on the bottom side. I'm pretty sure the hitch is rated for 500 lbs.

    Tongue weight is usually 10% of towing, so 600 lbs max, but stay under 500 lbs for sure.

    With 320lbs + carrier it will squat hard and "float" in the front. It's fine, but with heavy weight hanging its not ideal.

    I would recommend a simple solution called "sumo springs"

    They have some videos you can watch, it basically stops the rear from squatting only when loaded. Most truck/trailer accessory shops can supply or install them.
