Trailer tongue weight concerns!!!!!
Hello All! My name is Ernie, and I'm fairly new to the travel trailer world. I have a 2013 Chevrolet 2WD 1500 extended Cab pickup with the 5.3L engine, equipped with the heavy duty cooling package...

Ok, I have tried to gather as much info as I can about the TV and the RV! Here it goes....
Tow Vehicle: 2013 Chevrolet 1500 2WD EXT Cab
Max tow capacity: 9,700 lbs
GVW: 6,800 lbs
Max tongue weight: 6,000 lbs (weight carrying hitch)
Max tongue weight: 1,100 lbs (weight distributing hitch)
Max payload : 1,755 lbs
Gross combined weight rating: 15,000 lbs
Travel trailer: 2014 Keystone Bullet Premier 26rbpr
Trailer weight: 5,755 lbs
Tongue weight: 835 lbs
Hitch approx weight: 80-100 lbs
Miscellaneous other weights:
My fat butt! 250 lbs/ Wife 140 lbs
Total weight carried in bed of the truck 150 lbs
Total weight of misc supplies in the trailer 150 lbs
Full tank of fuel: 162.5 lbs 26 gallons @ 6.25 lbs per gallon
Next question: Is there a formula to figure all of this BLEEP out?
I consider myself to be semi intelligent, but when it comes to GVW, GCW, Payload, occupants, etc, etc, it all gets a little confusing!!
I've racked my brain trying to calculate all of this, and it comes out goofy every time!!
Hoping the Professor of trailering comes to the rescue! LOL
Please let me know if I have left something out!
Thanks again for all of the responses!! Ernie
