Newbie Looking for a New 5ver
I have a 2013 F-250 supercrew 4x4 SRW, GVWR-10,000#. Put it on the scales, weighs 8,280#, that's with full tank of diesel, 2 adults, 2 kids, and 3 overnight bags. Looking for a new 5th wheel, budget...

Forget the Dry/Brochure weights. Take the Gross (dry plus cargo) and take 20% of that for a ball park figure on pin weights. Not exact, but a better starting point than Dry weight numbers. Yes you'll see many rigs on the road that should have never left the Dealers lot, that's a big problem with 3/4 and 1 ton SRW TVs, they don't have the cargo cap to carry the pin weight of bigger 5er.. Also remember, Air Bags will not increase you're cargo cap, only bring the back up level after the squat from the pin weight.
