RAWR.......
Rear Axle actual weight (truck loaded up camp ready ----you,fuel, passengers, stuff in truck cab/bed)
Subtract that weight from RAWR
What is left is the amount of weight rear axle can carry (pin weight) before exceeding RAWR.
Typically you will reach/exceed trucks GVWR before exceeding RAWR.
Typically you will reach/exceed trucks Rear Tire Max Load Ratings (On sidewall of tire..Max PSI) before exceeding RAWR
Weigh truck(s) camp ready....then you have actual weights of truck F/R axles and trucks total.
Compare to trucks ratings -- F/R axle and GVWR
