TV: 2011 Ford F250 4x4 6.7 PSD Loaded Weight (w/o trailer) 8280# GVWR 10,000#
5er: 2011 Keystone Cougar 245RKS Normal Loaded wt 8,500# GVWR 9,855#
Pin Wt: 1,280 (15% of total) So GVW of TV is 9,560# (under GVWR)
Axle Wt of 5er is 7,220# 4 tires Load range D=10160# so I'm at approx 71% of tire rating
(going to switch to load range E anyway for more peace of mind and be at 64% of max)
GCW is 16,780. Well be the GCWR of 23,500#
Truck is registered in NC ("Weighted" Plates) with Gross Wt of 18,000# so I'm safe from that standpoint too.
Plenty of truck for the little trailer. My only area of concern are the China Bombs.
Going to put Maxxis on this spring.
