Sorry....pics of your manual are not clear and why I normally won't do the numbers....best that the OP do their own
Nevertheless, you can find the right numbers and plug them into the forumls your self
There are differing opinions on labeling. Do admitt that the new labeling might be of the actual weights and you can help me discover with some simple math
6800 - 1561 = 5239 and is hard for me to think your truck ACTUALLY weighs in at that.
The GCWR 15000 - 9600 = 5400 is 161 lbs more than the above 5239 and might jive with the TREAD label being actual, but need more info for my own education...but it is backwards...this should lower...as this is generic vs the label is as others say is specific to this vehicle
Are you saying your TV has no AC, automatic, power windows/locks/seats/etc?
So for your trailer....take the 15000 and subtract the weight of your loaded TV, cargo & people
You can use what others advise....the label numbers...or go out and weigh it fully laded...
