O.k. heres the deal, weighed my truck today. Its a 2008 Dodge 2500 Cummins 6.7 with an auto trans and an 8' bed. She came in right at 7620# with just me and a full tank of fuel. After reading ramcneal's post above me, its hard to imagine that an extra 2 feet of driveshaft,frame and sheet metal would end up being 580# more. Should I have gotten a shortbed and used that extra 580 elsewhere?
My former 08 Ram 2500 4X4 Quad weighed 7680# with extra gear inside and pulled my empty 41 foot Cyclone very well, but it was well over the GVWR so I traded up for a 3500. Weigh your TV and RV to find out if it's overweight.
