Well we finely got our 2009 32WRL Silverback to the Cat scales yesterday, these were the numbers!
We weighed our truck alone loaded and full of gas at:
7800 pds.
Fifth wheel was fully loaded, no water as we never carry it!
4480 steer axle
5420 drive axle
8980 trailer axle
18,880 combined weight
Have never fully understood the weight issues and everyone seems to have a different view on what it all means!!:?
Now if we can just figure out what it all means??? Our truck is rated to tow 12850 camper, 20,000 combined GCWR, can't seem to figure out what the pin weight is, I know we are very close to being overweight however the truck does a great job and no real issues. Since we live in Colorado and do travel some high mountain passes we know we must be careful.. :?
