ok. I got all the weights. Here goes.
GCVW. 11500. max rating is 13000
GVW 6800. Max rating is 6800
GFAW. 3140. max rating is 3600
GRAW 3660. max rating is 3750
GTW. 5300. max rating for pulling is 7400.
tongue weight is 580. that's 11% of trailer weight.
this is with TV and trailer fully loaded with our gear, passengers, and full tank.
Whats the weight of the truck alone? 6220
You need individual axle weights. 6220 means nothing.
Whats the max pressure and weight rating of the tires. haven't done those yet.
Let us know what the sidewall says.
Your #'s would seem your heavy in the back.. How did you determine your TW? And that its 580 lbs? weighed truck connected. weighed truck disconnected. subtracted one from the other.
Thats not telling you what your proper weights are..
Did you weigh with the WD bars engaged and not engaged?
See the calculator I posted. Thats how you need to weigh....
Do you have a weight distribution hitch?
