Start a topic about this so we are not taking away from basic posting of peoples weights.
Let me know where this new thread gets started, 'cause I'm terribly confused, too.
2004 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab, DRW, 4x4 D/A, full tank of fuel, small passenger
Front axle on scale: 4,520lbs
Front axle GAWR: 4,800lbs
Rear axle on scale: 3,620lbs
Rear axle GAWR: 8,550lbs
Total truck on scale: 8,140lbs
Total truck GVWR: 11,400lbs
Max 5th wheel tow capacity, per manual: 16,100lbs, not to exceed 3,500lbs pin weight
GCWR not to be exceeded: 23,500lbs
So if GCWR is not supposed to exceed 23,500lbs, that would limit me to a 12,100lbs GVWR trailer, regardless how loaded the truck is (up to 11,400lbs)?
So where is 16,100lbs coming from?
