Real weights of an arctic Fox 1140?
Does anyone have any documented ready to use weights? I have a 2008 crew cab duramax dually I know I am going to be "over" the 11,400 gvwr but how far is the real question?

My 2011 Arctic Fox 1150 (pretty much the same with slight interior changes) is about 5,600# loaded up to camp with some water 1/2 full. This includes me, 90# dog, wife, and kid all in the truck.
Front axle 5,250
Rear axle 9,350
Total 14,600.
Empty weights are with just me.
Front 5,250
Rear 3,500
Total 8,750
I subtracted some for the wife, kid, and dog.
And this is why I went from my 2011 dually to my 2016 dually. For the 14k gvw rating. I would need to run with little to no water on board to stay at 14k perfectly. The truck does great with it.
I did give serious consideration to going the Ram-5500 and flatbed route but I daily drive my dually as a CPA and business owner.
if I hook up my enclosed trailer and toys I basically put the rear axle at 10,200k.
Thanks to living in Oregon I can run over the scales anytime they are closed and check weights per axle :)
