I'm curious on the weights too. We are taking it all to the Oregon Dunes (Sand Lake) this weekend. If I go by a closed scale I will certainly be weighing it all. And this weekend is dry camping so will be almost full water too.
Based on my old truck (2011 everything else the same)
I'm betting front is 5-5,200, rear is around 9,700 and the trailer axles are around 6.5-7K combined.
I'll add the frame is not flexing a bit. That red line is slightly off.It is certainly not lined up with the bottom of the slideout.
As set up now with trailer the rear is squatted a little bit so we are not level. Is it totally drivable? Yes. Does it handle great? Yes. Does the truck have plenty of power and brakes? Yes.
Do I need the truck to be perfectly level all loaded up? No. We are camping and riding 3 weekends in the next 5 weeks so we can get a feel for the next mods. Most likely will be Lower Stabile Loads, than a Big Wig Sway bar..and likely not until next spring.
The ultimate goal IS a LEVEL truck and camper when fully loaded. Makes sleeping much better and I hate doing blocks :)
