We all know the dry weights are a fantasy...but Lance list the 855S at 2650#...where are you getting 3300#?
Is that optioned out?
If so, are all of your weights listed above w/options?
Please list so we have accurate comparison.

I took the base dry weight and added 650 lbs for options (including solar + A/C + gen). I got this number by searching the forums for actual scale weights reported by other people. I couldn't always find the exact model of TC, so it's sometimes a guess based on delta for other models. This is not going to be 100% accurate of course, but it should provide a ballpark comfort level. My purpose is to get an idea of what truck / TC combo to get that puts me comfortably within the weight limits, which seems what the OP was looking for. A new truck + TC is going to cost about $75K so I want to do it right the first time.
OK...it was a bit confusing when you stated "dry weights"...most Folks here think of that meaning "no options".
You are correct to add in all the features you will want when specing out your combo.
"Measure twice...cut once"!
Good luck, Bill
