Didn't read all of the posts...but...one does NOT calculate GVWR and GCWR...they are provided by the OEM and is fixed
Unless the OP is trying to have them changed, then he will need licensed folks who DOT will accept the new GVWR and GCWR numbers
Or most likely the OP meant he is trying to calculate the remaining ratings after he subtracts his actual weights, but seems to be confused by his Internet searches, where he states that they are all over the map
Of course, it is for 'their' TV's and setup's, not his...
If no one has suggested, the OP should load up his TV and trailer with people/pets/cargo/etc/etc and go out and weigh the whole setup, axle by axle
That will then give him the information to calculate 'his' setup's remaining GVWR/GCWR and toss in GAWR, front and rear

Hello all! I am in the process of calculating GVWR and GCWR for my 2015 F-250 Super Duty and decided to get an actual base curb weight at a Cat Scale. It is a 6.7 Power Stroke, Crew Cab / short bed.I weighed with a full tank of fuel and nothing else in the truck, not even myself in the truck. It came in at 8,071 pounds. Does that sound reasonable to anyone who has weighed similar? To try and Google the weight was all over the map.
