When it comes to truck and trailer weights I am kind of clueless. I always felt my truck and trailer combo was at the max, but not knowing my actual weight left me wondering?
While on vacation I found a Cat Certified Truck Scale so I weighed the combo to get the actual weight of both truck and trailer.
The trailer is a 2008 Jayco Eagle RLTS 291 model with 4000 generator on board.
The TV is a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab, 5.9 Cummings, Auto with 3.73 Axle ratio and air bags.
I had a half of tank of diesel fuel and my wife and I weighed in with the truck. The holding tanks were also empty of liquid.
After weighing in here are the results!
Steer-axle = 4500 lb
Drive-axle = 6420 lb
Trailer-axle = 9380 lb
Gross Weight = 20300 lb
What does all this mean in terms of being over the weight limits?
