Took new rig to cat scale today
Hi everyone. I took a trip to my nearest Cat scale today and was a little bit surprised by the numbers. Tow vehicle is a 2013 ford f150 supercrew 4x4 with a 5.0 and 3.55's yellow sticker on door list...

Simply put.... with trailer connected and WDH in place the actual weight the rear truck axle is feeling is 640lbs.
But the tongue weight of the trailer is more.
Again, I'm not claiming to be an expert, but after reading some of the threads I referenced earlier, I believe that with WD the rear axle is supporting an additional 3400-2840=560 lbs.
The other 80 lbs of tongue weight is being supported by the travel trailer axles.
Now, here's a question I haven't see addressed yet in the other threads:
For determining whether the vehicle and trailer are within their respective weights (GAWR, GVWR) the values obtained in pass 3 with WD hooked up are used - correct?
