Some time back I weighed my rig loaded to go camping. No water but everything else. Myself, wife, daughter, and 2 gkids.
2009 Ford F350 SRW Lariat Crew Cab

Axle Actual GAWR
Front 5020 5000
Rear 5900 6693
Trailer 7380 10400
Truck GVWR 11,000 Trailer GVWR 12317 GCVWR 23,000 Actual 18,300
It all looked good except the front axle???
Yesterday I weighed the truck by itself. Full tank of diesel, driver 275, no other passengers, hitch in back.

Sure is heavy on the front end. Take out the extra bodies and add in the fuel. I figure the tongue weight is ~2200-2300. That's why it sits on the overloads all the time. All looks good and pulls fine. No problems. Except for the front axle all within ratings.
