Ok Barney, my truck sits at 15,040# with my little MobileSuites sitting on it. My trucks rating is 14,000#. Am I overloaded?
My front axle rating is 6,000# weight is 5,460#, my rear axle rating is 9,750# weight is 9,580# so per ratings I am within both axle ratings..
My front axle weighed about 5,300# from the factory, if I add that number to the 9,750# rear axle rating it magically makes the truck weigh 15,050#.
My point is the 14K number is just that a number! It is set at that amount to keep from going into the next truck classification for licensing and insurance purposes.
