gvwr- 9,000 payload-2635 cwt-6365 gawr front-4630 rear-6000 gcwr-20,000
fifth wheel 2009 fuzion302 34' dry 11,165 what do you think!
mike
Curb weight----6365 GVWR----9000 leaving a 2635# payload
Subtract 250# for 5th wheel hitch from that payload
Subtract 300# for 2 passengers
Subtract 100# of stuff in truck
That leaves you with a payload of 1985# (n this scenario---your trucks actual curb weight may be different)
That 11,165# DRY weight would have a pin weight around 2200#.....already over your payload and nothing is in trailer.
Again....weight your truck 'camp ready' (don't forget hitch weight)
Then find a trailer with a GVWR and 20% pin weight that actually fits your trucks available rating.
Buy a trailer that is within your trucks ratings that you can enjoy towing it----the more you enjoy towing it the more you will look forward to going VS I HATE TOWING THIS
