Weighed my truck 10\14\13...truck had hitch in it, toolbox, full tank of fuel and full tank of DEF..just me though, steer axle was 5280 (rated at 6,000#), my drive axle was 3860#, (rated at 9750#)..Gross weight was 9140# (GVWR is 14,000#).
Weighed my whole combo 3/5/14. Full tank of fuel, full DEF tank, me, wife, two boxers, tool box a tad more loaded and 5er loaded almost as full as if we would be gone a week...all tanks empty, cept black water probably had 10 gallons or so in it and 2 5# bags of ice to slosh around in the tank while driving from Asheville NC to Seviereville TN..
I digressed....front axle was 5460# (again, rated at 6,000#
Drive axle was 7200# (before it was 3860), which gives me a pin weight of 3340# .
My Gross weight was 12,660 (truck plus pin weight) which is 1,340# under my trucks GVWR.)..Drive axle weight of 7200# put my truck 2550# under my RAWR of 9750#, (based on tires and psi).
My trailer axle , 12,580# and pin weight 3340#, put weight of my 5er @ 15,920#, (has a GVW of 16,900#)...Didn't have my generator.
Total weight of combo was 25,240#....trucks GCWR is 37,600#.
Anyway, all these weights were taken on CAT scales.
You are too far from your limits! A larger RV is in order.
thinking....thinking...thinking....:)
Got any pics? Whats the Tow Vehicle?
If you're asking me what my TV is, it's a 2013 Ram 3500 Crew cab/long bed/4X4/ with 4:10 and Aisin tranny in Laramie Longhorn trim...
Yeah, I had some pics of the truck, Rick showed them on here once, I'm picture posting challenged:).....Next time I hook the truck up to my 5er I'll try to post pics.
Gotta love that high GCWR the Dodge offers. My 06 F550 is rated at 17950 GVWR and 33K GCWR. Granted mine is 8 years old but she still does the job. I dont have the numbers from the scale on the truck by it self but here are the numbers when hooked to our 5er with no water, no fuel, no toys, no gear or clothes. It had all the odds and ends that stay in there like, bedding, extra Honda gen, pots and pans and some can food.
Front axle - 5240
Rear axle - 7820
5er axles - 12680 (Triple axle)
Grand total- 25740
I want to hit the scales when loaded down for a trip some tiime. Im sure I will be pretty close to my GCWR.....
