3. Measured weight from scales:
3a. Front GVWR= 3,880 Rear GVWR= 2,720 Total weighted truck @ scale=6,600.
3b. Pin weight: GVWR=8,800-scale total weight6,600=2,200
Was the whole family in the truck when you weighted it? Well if you don't have a hitch in the truck yet you are at 2,200 - 200# = 2,000# pin weight.
2,000# / 20% = 10,000# loaded weight. So probably around 8,500# max dry weight. So look at "Half-ton towable"
Not really a good truck to haul a 5th wheel. Trucks prior to 2005 have much lower numbers than the new trucks.
