could there be another issue with the surge brake or axle that's giving you problems? Something hanging or dragging to make you worry about what your trailer is doing to your truck's drivetrain? Whenever I've worried about too much trailer for the vehicle, the problem seems to manifest itself in the suspension/steering/handling/braking departments...
I'm not saying OP isn't fully capable and qualified, I'm just suggesting a quick PM check to rule out other important factors that may affect how the trailer pulls.
Yep... That is what i am thinking as well. Even at 1340lbs, the trailer seems to be much heavier. I have pulled plenty of loaded trailers with my truck and it has always worked well, but for some reason the A2 just seems unusually heavy.
As I said, the trailer is in great shape... I will get photos in the morning and try to post them here. It was "reworked by VSE corp in 2007" and the bearings were repacked in Nov of 2009 according to the "11/09" written in marker on the hub caps. It tows nice and straight but just seems really heavy given its dry weight.
