Have posted before regarding toy haulers and SRW trucks.
I have a 2012 f350 diesel with 3404 payload sticker.
I have been looking at toy haulers and want to stay within weights.
Avoiding over 40 feet and have resigned to stay away from a triple axle as I know I would be getting too heavy IMO but I know many do this route.
Looked at a Voltage 3305 at 12500 per sticker. I know gross is 16,000 but that is with a lot more added in than I will carry.

I looked at many rigs and told salesman not moving forward unless I can test tow and go to scales............. All 200 feet away in this case.
He did.(didn't?) It like idea until I said thanks and starting walking. He said then we could do it but I had to fill some paperwork first.

I gave contact info and will go try in a day or two.

Listed pin on brochure is 2831 but I realize each model is different and hence my request . Any one tow a similar rig and happy? Anyone make similar request at dealer?

He appeared shocked when I stated my question.,,,, funny!!!
I weighed at scales on way out to get Rear axel weight. With. Oth my boys and heavy hitch I sit at 8602 will full fuel.
Truck gross is 11,500.
I know even this toy haulers makes things close.
Thanks

Back to the OP Question.

Interesting, when we picked up our 5er we got the Dealer to allow us to hook it up, before signing the papers. We didn't go to any scales, but wanted to see how the TV was going to take the load. Well long store short TV sat fine on stock suspension so we bought it. Once loaded we are well over GVWR, but about 500# under rear axle and and about 1,300# under the tire ratings.
Yes still running stock Camper Package suspension, and all is great.
