Frostdog,
I have been looking at the 2011 Raptor 300MP and it shows a shipping weight on their website of 11246 lbs. I had always heard that the shipping weights are generally lighter than the actual weights empty but am intrigued that you had the gen tank full and a 1500 lb toy in it and it only weighed 11,020 lb. Does that mean yours weighed around 9,000 lb empty?
Also, what does your 300MP show as a max GRVW? Their website doesn't show the max gross.

We pull this with a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 eight foot bed, quad cab, 6.7 Cummings Diesel equipped with Airlift add on pillows. The truck with full tank came in at 9440 lbs. hitched up to the Raptor. Run with 70 psi rear and 50 psi front on the truck and 80 psi on the trailer quads.
On our recent long trip of near 3000 miles we got as low as 8.7 and a high of 14.3 miles per gallon. The average was 10.8 and we traveled at 65 miles per hour 99% of the trip. Used no oil on the motor with 40k miles. Pulled mountains with no more than one down shift of the six speed Alison. This truck performs very well and rides like a dream-loaded that is.
I am a happy camper!
