Hi neighbor,
Load your truck like your going camping and drive across a set of scales. The state scale on 22 west of town is a good candate. Now, once your home, open the drivers door and look at the mfg weight lable. You will see several numbers, pick the GVWR number. Subtract your scaled weight from that number. That is your real world honest cargo carrying capacity (CCC). For a TT figure 12% of its GVWR will be tongue weight, 20% for a fifth wheel. Now with real numbers in hand you can go shopping. Give me a call if you have any more questions.
