Drove through a weigh station this morning.

Front - 3620
Rear - 6960

tag on the door,
Front - 4400
Rear - 6200
GVWR - 9500

I think they need to calibrate their scale. :B

    Who is "they"?
    State operated scale along a highway?
    CAT scale at a truck stop?

  • Pretty close. What are your tires rated at the pressure you were running? My bet is the stock rear tires are the cause for the RAWR, but of course, Es can go all of the way to 4080 each or down to barely 3000.

    Just don't go on freeways.
    Is it with booze loaded?


    If it is over the RAWR bet it is Over the tire load ratings also

    2500 with a 2800# DRY weight camper and one thinks scales are wrong ?

  • Those are axle ratings on your door, not weights. You can bet those scales are not off by much if at all.
