    315 rlts owners. Weights/numbers.

    Hey guys, first post I think.
    We're picking up a 2021 Reflection 315 rlts this coming Saturday.
    The sales guy.. Yeah I know.. Is offering to throw in a hitch. He was mentioning an Equalizer, but he was talking 1100 or 1200 lb TW cap.
    I'm sure that's not enough, GD says the TW is 1065 and I'm sure it's over that.
    Any 315 rlts owners care to share some real world numbers?
    I'm towing with a 2018 F350 DRW. I also most always have my golf-cart in the bed of the truck.
    Thanks for any insight and assistance.

    When I first weighed mine I had just under 1400lb tongue weight for a total trailer weight of 10620lbs.

    Most recent weigh put it 1500 and change and 10800.

    Good Luck

    Thanks guys, picking up our 2021 Reflection 315rlts tomorrow. I ordered an Equalizer 1600/16000 hitch. With our most recent (just sold) 36' camper we used a Reese Straight line weight distribution hitch with sway control and loved it. I decided I didn't want to drill into the frame of the new TT so I went with Equal-i-zer. I've read a lot of good info on the Equal-i-zer but have never used one. Anybody have any opinions feel free to kick me some feedback. Thanks

    We have the same hitch setup. Started with the 1400lb hitch and my tongue wt was right at the top, went with the 1600 Equalizer, all good.

    Thanks, I'm towing with a 2018 F350 DRW. I also carry a lifted golf cart in the truck bed. GD has a TW listed @ 1065 but I knew had to be way low for a TT this size.

    I've also read about some using some sort of pad on the snap brackets on the Equal-i-zer. Anyone using them? Are they worth it?

    I was using them on my 1400lb equalizer to make it a bit quieter, and it did work. Unfortunately the pads don’t fit the 1600lb equalizer. All the frame brackets are thicker.

    Yeah that's what I was wondering. I saw them for up to 1400# Equal-i-zer, but didn't see any for the 1600#. Thanks

    When we picked up our Reflection, the guy said they haven't been able to get Equal-i-zers. So we opted for a 1500# Blue Ox Sway Pro.
    We've only driven it about 60 miles from the dealership to the house but it felt solid. Time will tell on the Blue Ox I guess.
