Need Help With Determining Weight Numbers

Truck and Trailer together: 21,540 lbs
Truck only: With Hitch attached: 8,060 lbs (GVWR) 11,400 lbs
Trailer at rear axles: 10,240 lbs
Front GAWR: 5,700 lbs
Rear GAWR: 7,000 lbs
I wasn't able to get the vendor to weigh my axles individually and/or my hitch weight as well.
So this is what I got on my own:
Hitch wt: 3,240 lbs
Total wt of trailer: 13,480 lbs
Is my math right?

I weighed myself at a public truck scale in town that told me they weren't able to help me with weighing my hitch weight and axle weights individually. I plan to go to our local CAT scale the next time for comparison. However, with the numbers I was able to get this is what I got for my hitch weight and total trailer weight.

Thank you.

    What is the load range on your 35's and what is the max carrying capacity? If D's you most likely will have a very bouncy ride and potential tire failure.

    So it's a gas motor. 2wd or 4x4? Trk GVW is around 11,200 +/-, Max combo is 23K Am I right? From what I see w/ your numbers, looks like you are around of trk GVW. CAT scale will tell you for sure exact axle weights for all axles.


    No. It's a Ford 6.0, therefore it's a diesel.
