I know this isn't what you asked but when I had my 2500HD Chevy, I couldn't put an auxillary tank in as my pin weight was already over the trucks 2000 pound load limit.
OP here,
If I read the chart correctly and I said
IF my payload is just over 3200 pounds. My trailer fully loaded is rated at 8500lbs. I calculated my pin rate at 25 % of 9000 pounds just to be safe and it is 2250 pounds.
I'm considering the 37 gallon in bed tank and 37 gallons x 8 pounds per gallon is 296 Adding 3 other 200 pound people plus an extra 50 for me as they only allow 150 for the driver is 650 add two cocker spaniels another 50 pounds so we are 700 which still leaves me 300 pounds under the limit. Also I allowed for two extra passengers when 99% of the time it will only be my wife, me, and the two dogs.
