GVWR ......8461#
VWR ......6932#
Dry pin weight.....1461# with 5471# on axles (a 21% dry pin weight)
So load up 5vr with 1500# of stuff (water, propane and your stuff) you will be very close to 5vrs GVWR and have a Wet pin weight close to 1800#
Could overload 5vr easily BUT should have NO problems with weight on truck
And truck S/B able to easily handle that 5vr.

Any extra 'options/upgrades' added to 5vr cuts down on what you can load for camping,,,,,,,,,clothes, linens, pot/pans, FOOD, pantry, etc.
Only have 1529# of CCC for 5vr. (GVWR minus DRY weight)
