Please understand that most people on this thread have the old style 36RL. Even though they may have upgraded an early model 2014 to 8,000lb axles.

The late model 2014's are manufactured after September 2014. These are newer models that have all the new changes. They actually have 8,000lb axles that come standard, now. There may be a reason for these axles to be standard equipment.

If your planning on purchasing the latest model 2014 I would suggest that you get dry weights from the factory and start adding weights such as; potable water, gen., w/d, and what ever else. You may find that pin weights on these new ones may be closer to the 5,000lbs. You also, may find that a 1 ton dually is no longer sufficient.

I'll be checking out the newest models at the RV Super Show in Tampa on the 15th of this month.

Good Luck!

Hopefully you will learn a little at the RV show Dave - Redwood is still 7,000k axle standard even though the G614 tire is now standard, and no, mine didn't "accidently" get equipped with 8,000K axles, they were a $3,500 option combined with G614 tires on my "old" 2014 36RL.
