King pin weight
Have some questions on trailer weight and pin weight. We have a 2007 GMC 2500HD short bed 4x4. Just weighed it today on a CAT scale. Was loaded ready to go with generators extra propane tanks and fuel...

TV STEER AXLE - 4380

TOTAL TV WEIGHT - 7720
TV GVWR - 9200
TV REAR GAWR - 6084
TV FRONT GAWR - 4800
Trailer GVWR - 13400
TV/TrailerGCWR - 22000
Trailer Pin Weight-----2400#
TRAILER AXLE - 10520
Weights with trailer attached
TV STEER AXLE - 4360......FAWR 4800 (UNDER by 440#)
TV DRIVE AXLE - 5760......RAWR 6084 (UNDER by 324#)
Trailer GVW......12920....GVWR 13400 (UNDER GVWR by 480#)
Truck/trailer ....20640...GCVWR 22000 (UNDR GCVWR by 1360#)
Truck GVWR 9200 - total weight 10120 (OVER by 920#)
Add the 400# passenger/dogs 10520 ----puts you OVER by 1320#
(Even with the 400# additional weight STILL going to be UNDER both F/R axle weight ratings AND the GCVWR for TV/Trailer
As pointed out (NUMEROUS TIMES)
MFG GVWR (and 'payload' which is based on GVWR) is a Recommended Weight -----Warranty/Registration Issues NOT --- NOT-- a Moving Violation/DOT Legality Issue
NO statues/laws pertain directly to Over MFG GVWR.
Axle/Tire Load Ratings ARE the governing issue
IMHO---your TV/Trailer set up is NOT overweight and is NOT an issue.
You have to decide for yourself.
