Just weighed...

GVWR corrected and yes, GTWR is correct. My 2012 4x4 Ram Laramie Longhorn w/6.7 Cummins HO (350HP/800T) has Load lifter 5000 bags w/30 psi when towing. Rides level, rear tires set for heavy load at 80 psi. Rear tires are as described above, **** it. Unfortunately I replaced 2 12v batteries with 4 6v batteries @76 lbs each. Seems I shouldn't have done that.

Just got weighed and this is what I got. (With people and full fuel tank, fiver tanks empty except for 1/3 water.)

TV Only: steering 4740, drive 3260

Full rig: steering 4800, drive 6240, trailer 9520.

TV: steering GAWR 5500, drive GAWR 6010, GAWR 8800, GCWR 22000

Trailer: GTWR 1980, GCWR 9030

I'm concerned...

You need a bigger TV and lose some weight in the 5er! :S

Would love to see a picture, and how you deal with that heavy rear axle.



#1. that 2012 has the same GVWR as my 2001!

That said you are way, way over the TV GVWR at 11,040 on the TV. I thought I was way over at 10,000# on the TV. :B

What is the Max load rating on the tire side wall if 265/70-17E they are rated at 3,195 X 2 + 6,390 putting you right at the edge of the tires.

Your 5er weight is over its GVWR at 12,500#, your 5er has a GVWR of 12,220#. You are just shy of 24 percent pin weight.

Your TV before hooking up weighs in at 8,000#, leaving only 800# of available payload before exceeding the GVWR.

I weigh in at about 7,800#, and run right at 10,000# +/- with the 5er attached.
