Stopped at the CAT Scales on way to Chippokes State Park in Va the other day, I had about 3/8's on the fuel gauge, Just me in the truck. All tanks empty. Towing with 2006 Dodge Ram MegaCab SLT 2wd, Husky 16k slider and Firestone Ride Rites.
Steer Axle - 4220
Drive Axle - 4940
Trailer Axle - 8180
Gross - 17340
From Dodge Web site:
With 3.73 Axle Ratio Axle Ratio You Can Tow 12950 lbs
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) = 9000 lbs
Payload = 2116 lbs
Curb Weight = 6884 lbs
Curb Weight Front/Rear = 3961 lbs/3961 lbs
GAWR Front/Rear = 4750 lbs/6010 lbs
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) = 20000 lbs
I didn;t get a chance to weigh the truck without the Fiver on the back.
