What I believe Lawrosa was saying here is that the more passengers and gear you add to the truck the amount of payload available for pin weight will be reduced. Something you already know.
Makes sense now. I didn't read it that way at first.
Not an issue since in your first post you stated the truck was weighed with what you typically pack for camping.
I used 300 lbs. of lead ingots as a substitute for the passenger, dog and incidentals.
Like your truck, my 2WD dually will hit the 10,000 GVWR well before the axle limits of 4400 and 7400.
Yes. I'll be over that limit if we get the fiver we are looking at. I don't want to buy a dually, especially since my 2010 has less than 10,000 miles.:(
