What are "real life weight police"?
It sounds like you have it all figured out. Those engineers that derive those limitations from structural integrity formulas and thermodynamics are idiots.
Real life weight police is the gentlemen that looks over 1000's of rigs a day and determines if its legal or not. He weighted me, and checked my truck. He was happy with what he saw. Rim failure and tire failure and braking are his concerns. He said my truck was very well setup.
So, on to hard facts.
My truck when its stock
With 3.73 Axle Ratio Axle Ratio You Can Tow 13550 lbs
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) = 10500 lbs
Payload = 3196 lbs
Curb Weight = 7304 lbs
Curb Weight Front/Rear = 4154 lbs/4154 lbs
GAWR Front/Rear = 4750 lbs/9350 lbs
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) = 21000 lbs
The weight ratings they gave me
4900 front axle
6900 rear axle
12600 was the trailer.
How far am i off by those numbers?
