XLS 22MLE Tongue Weight
Bought the 22MLE back in July. When we were researching what to buy, Trailer Weight (UVW) and Hitch Weight were 2 of our many considerations in what to buy. The GD brochure and currently on their website shows the 22MLE with 5176 UVW and 491 Hitch Weight. Our Vehicle Weight Info Sheet that came with trailer shows 5284 UVW and 596 Hitch Weight. The increase in UVW is relatively small compared to overall weight but the Hitch Weight is a significant increase in what is advertised. I called GD and their only explanation was that the weight can vary sometimes. Has anyone else experienced significant differences in what is advertised?

I attribute the difference in advertised vs delivered tongue weight (TW) to the added battery and two 20lb LP tanks. For example our 2020 had an advertised TW of 490 and vehicle data sheet of 580 which I verified with my Sherline TW scale during our PDI. A Group 24 battery weighs ~40 and each LP tank weighs ~37 “if full”; ours were not full after I weighed them when we got home.

And, I just looked at this for answering another thread. I'd expect your ultimate tongue weight, ready to hit the road, will be in the 750-775 lb range......
