Just found our CAT scale slip - Fiver was hooked up to truck:
Truck: F250, 7.3L, 4x4, CC, SB, year: 2003
Fiver: Keystone Cougar 291RLS
Steer Axle 4680 lbs.
Drive Axle 5400 lbs.
Trailer Axle 8040 lbs.
Gross Weight 18120 lbs.
We still gotta take the truck to be weighed separately, but we were on
vacation and he wasn't gonna unhook the trailer. The trailer weighs 8270 lbs
dry so we figure about 9500 lbs loaded up - we travel average I'd say as it is
just the two of us and no kids.
Our manufacturer totals show Front GAWR of 5200 lbs (we're okay)
and Rear GAWR of 6084 lbs (we're okay)
Total GVWR is 8800 lbs. (we're okay)
Total GCWR is 20,000 lbs (so we're okay there)
Our problem is we are over our payload capacity -I'm sure of that before
even going to the scales - dang it! next truck is a F350 !
