Hi -
The GCVWR (gross combined weight rating) is 13,000 lbs (from the owners manual for the truck). The weight of the loaded truck and trailer is 12,260 lbs.
The truck RAWR - where do I find this number? Do I re-weigh the truck?
Truck tire max load - 3,042 lbs
Trailer axle ratings - where do I find this number? Do I have to re-weigh the trailer? The trailer is equipped with dual tires.
Trailer tire max load - 1,760 lbs
Thanks for your help -
Dave
