The rule of thumb is not to even think about the unloaded weights always look at the gross vehicle weight rating on the trailer and then use at least 20% of that weight as your pin weight. Many are above 20% but at least figure that percentage going right in the bed of your truck. As Notanlines said, then you also have to add all the people, fuel and hitch plus the other things you have in the cab or bed. Might just for the heck of it load everyone in and fill up the tank and hit a scale just to get a start weight. You might be surprised.
