Both sides of this disagreement aren't clear to me, perhaps not to others either.
Y'all tell me if my guesstimation is correct.
Ed prefers weight at the tailgate of the pickup, in which case that weight is more effective on the rear tires by lifting the front a little, more weight transfer to the rear a little less weight on the front tires.
Cosmo says put the weight at the front of the bed by the cab, or perhaps at least over the rear axle? This helps the rear wheels and will add weight to the front wheels if ahead of the rear axle.
Cosmo is concerned about loss of steering ability with the lighter front?
Ed understands that but in his experience there's already enough weight on the front for steering, enjoys even better grip at the rear?
I've seen it both ways, personally I put the weight at the tailgate and have had good success. I suppose if the front seemed extra squirmy I'd rethink.
