So confused with tow capacities

"ANY" place that has a scale will weigh you. Sometimes free, other times they will charge you. When I bought my 05 dually, now sold, I hit a local rock/gravel/cement plant quarry that I buy material from regularly. Went across the scale to see what it weighed with out all the goodies I know would be on it, like the ladder/wood/pipe rack, cross bed tool box, line-x, I needed to add a 15K reciver hitch.........My base wt was right in there with GM's base wt per all the door and glove box camper load stickers. I'm not going to say exact, as the scale goes in 20 lb increments, and the stickers were to the lb!I was with in a 20 or 40 lbs difference. I've been this way with 5 different trucks, so the door stickers are what I would call close enough with out a scale one can use it IMHO and not be off enough to really make a difference.

If you look in the Yellow pages, or some other online type phone list/book, you can many times find places listed under scales/weights or equal for vehicles.
