Weights were taken at start of a long trip
(60 gal of diesel, 60# propane, 25 gal of water, empty gray & black tanks)
Steer axle......4,160# (GAWR: 4,670#)
Drive axle......5,980# (GAWR: 6,084#) close to tire limit, will soon be changing to 265/75-16 E tires
Total Truck..10,140# (GVWR: 9,200#) Truck handles this load real well!
Trailer pin........2,780# (truck is level even w/2” drop shackles on rear springs & 30psi in Air Lifts)
Trailer axles...10,680# (GAWR: 7,000# each, MOR/ryde IS)
Total Trailer...13,460# (GVWR: 12,500#) Mfg. says this amount of overweight is not a problem for this trailer—same chassis as on their heavier trailers.
Total (GCW): 20,820# (GCWR: 22,000#, Total Truck + Trailer axles)
Note: Trailer has disc brakes rated for 8,000# per axle & E rated tires, good for max. of 3,042# each.
