GVWR, GCWR, & GVW

Where do you get the pin weight at 3,000#????
My 14K 5vr has a real world pin weight of 2980# (trailer total weight is 13,873#)
A 18,500# trailer will have a real world (WET) pin weight of 3500# or more.
And that pin weight is just part of the trucks payload capacity.
You also have to add the weight of yourself over 150#), all passengers, any stuff in cab (backpacks, under seats, etc) 5th wheel hitch for total payload
Total Payload (Cargo Carry Capacity) is stated on Safety Compliance Sticker (door jamb)
Does yours state 3700#??? Seems high for your trim level.....
Think you will be over on payload capacity
Think trailer pin weight will be higher than 3000#
Truck weight..7500# IS that scaled actual weight or brochure weight
(Camp ready scaled weight???)
Think you are going to be close on weights when you get real world numbers
