Did the weights and I am ok with them.

Truck full of fuel...no hitch in receiver:6000 pounds

Hooked up trailer today and weighted again:

Truck with WD hitch and tongue weight...6900 pounds

Trailer hooked up...6580 on trailer axles

With both myself and wife in truck with trailer attached...7290 pounds (90 pounds over listed GVWR of 7200...close enuff for me)

Total weight of 13870...round up to 14000...still under 15400 combined GVWR

Thanx for the help and suggestions...feel better about the setup!

2012 Ford f150 Ecoboost 4x4 and 2015 Jayco White Hawk 29REKS

Truck with SCT Livewire Tune from Mike at 5 Star on 89 Oct: ~425 hp/500 torque feet

    Not enough info, how much tongue weight, axle weights before and after and with and without WD. All we know for sure is you are over weight by a few pounds buty not how much you are over on the rear axle.


    SPOT ONE and that would REALLY BE MY CONCERN also. If you are over your GVWR is most often the case that you are over on your RAWR which can be a serious safety issue. I hope that the OPs "rose colored" glasses aren't too dark to see the light in what might really be going on.
