Quick question on tow ratings

When I weight my truck and trailer at the scale and if the ticket says front axle x amount of pounds and the rear axle says x amount of pounds if I combine these two weights that amount should not exceed the GVWR
  • You're venturing into dangerous territory asking about weight ratings on here !!!

    If you're one to follow the GVWR limits, "Yes" for the truck, the as-weighed front axle plus as-weighed rear axle should be at or less than GVWR.

    You didn't ask, but since I like to follow the ratings, I always added front / rear / trailer axle weights to see if I was under the GCVWR.
  • Correct. AND, the rear axle weight should not exceed the RAWR (rear axle weight rating).
