Well, after getting on the scales here are the results: Front Axle: 5,020 lbs; Rear Axle: 6,900 lbs; Gross Weight: 11,920 lbs. So based on these figures, I'm 220 lbs overweight with a fully loaded one-ton truck. Oh, and for the record. The diesel tank was pretty close to full, while the camper was loaded to the hilt with food, clothing, and a full tank of fresh water.
Interesting. Do you have the Aisin transmission? That takes ~160 lbs off the payload.
I am also wondering if you have added any suspension upgrades to the Ram. Or do you feel the stock suspension is good for your camper?
I am about to order a 2014 Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 crew shortbox. Have a ~3200 lb camper.
