Fuel/hitch/passengers--------6840#
20% of 5vr GVWR (10475)------2095#
Total truck weight-----------8935#
Trucks GVWR------------------9200#
Amount under trucks GVWR------265#
Rear axle scaled weight---------------3080#
Pin weight (20% of 5vrs GVWR)---------2095#
Rear axle/tire weight-----------------5175#
Trucks RAWR (actually rear tires)-----6084#
Amount under RAWR/Tire load------------909#
Trucks max tow rating--------9900#
5vrs GVWR-------------------10475#
Amount over max tow rating----575#
Loaded truck (fuel/hitch/pass.)-------6840#
5vr at GVWR--------------------------10475# (this number includes pin weight)
Total combined weight----------------16315#
GCWR---------------------------------16000#
Amount OVER GCWR-----------------------315#
So with truck loaded and trailer packed full at GVWR you will be:
Under trucks GVWR by 265#
Under trucks rear tire max load rating by 909#
Over max tow rating by 575#
OVER GCWR by 315#
As far as ratings.......close to being maxxed on trucks GVWR & rear tire ratings (over GCWR and tow rating). But rear tire/trucks GWVR are the real important ones.
What is really going to be your limiting factor is the gas engine.
Loaded.....yes
OK on flats
SLOW going on ANY grades----tad heavy coming down grades
I'd tow it!
I'm right at rear tire rating, over trucks GVWR but tow with a 'tractor motor' and have exhaust brake so I'm not scared :B
