We went on a short ride today (80 miles round trip) with the complete rig and also went to certified scales to weigh it.
As expected, the garage pod took some weight off the front axle(yay!).
Steer axle 5920 pounds
Drive axle 9960 pounds
Total 15880 pounds
2006 Isuzu NRR maximum ratings
Steer axle 6830 pounds
Drive axle 12980 pounds
GVWR 19,500 pounds
So right now we have 3600 pounds available for people + cargo. Not as much as I wanted at the start but maybe enough to get us by until a 2001 to 2006 Isuzu FTR or GMC T-7500 with 20k miles driven by a little old lady falls in our lap.
The 2000 pound flatbed could have some of the 900 pounds of wood removed since we really don't use it much as a hauling flatbed. Replacing the wood with aluminum extrusion would gain us 500 pounds of cargo capacity.
