Good to go?
Took my truck (2012 F250 Diesel) to a CAT scale today to get a true 'empty' weight.
Full fuel and DEF, no driver, no cargo
Gross Weight 7780 lbs
Steer Axle 4700 lbs
Drive Axle 3080 lbs
Door sticker on truck:
GVWR 10,000lbs
Front GAWR 5200 lbs
Rear GAWR 6100 lbs
So I can assume I have 2220 lbs available for me, the wife, all the coolers of beer, firewood, WD hitch and tongue weight from the trailer, correct?
Have not weighed the trailer fully loaded yet nor do I have the actual tongue weight. Dry weight from factory is 3876 or so.
Yes I know I have way too much truck for my trailer, but that's exactly what I wanted when looking at TW and TTs.
Just bought the truck in September and the TT in October. Due to weather and medical issues we have not had the trailer out yet, but dammit we're ready for it to warm up so we can!!!!
Thoughts?
