You seem to imply that there is a direct relationship between choice of equipment and safety while in motion.

He should just rebadge his Truck. Take off the 2500 Trim and replace it with 3500. Keeps the nosey old buzzards away.

I am under all weights except GVWR,
I s'pose this is a dumb question, but if there's an obvious explanation I missed it:
If you're under all individually measured weights, where does the extra come from that puts GVWR over the limit?

Yeah, that's a pretty big boy to be pulled with a 3/4. Maybe he lives around the corner and never goes anywhere else. Prolly worthy of a citation! ๐

Did you get to see the GVWR and Payload sticker on the door jam?
Did you weigh his truck, and trailer and determine he is over weight, and how far. Did you look to see if the truck was bagged?
Yes that is a good size 5er, but might be closer than you think. :R
No, did none of that, will have to take someone's word for it, but did you see his GVWR or payload sticker on the doorjamb? Air bags to level the load...didn't see a picture...
I'm not positive of anything except my trucks specs, my 5er's specs, GVW, RAWR, FAWR and GCWR and I have all the weights...under everything:)
Almost X2 to that!
I just have a small problem with "I have all the weights...under everything"
That would be "almost" "I have all the weights...under everything"
I am under all weights except GVWR, and while not an excuse, I would several 250/2500 owners on here are also. I am just a bit over, Cummins12V98, and you may be able come close to figuring what I am over.
I was sure I would be over some, and used a highly scientific method of determining if I would be close enough and OK. Before signing the papers I dropped the 5er on the hitch, and lifted the landing gear and moved to a flat location. Truck was a little better than level and the 5er was a bit nose high. I have never looked back on that decision.
I don't recommend for others, but it has worked fine for me, don't have bags or Timbern's don't need them.
There are many that think that 12,000 5er is Dually territory, well what will they say when the Aluminum bodied F150 looses 700# of weight, and doesn't reduce the GVWR, they will have a payload near a 350/3500 SRW!

I looked up a new 38' Montana with 4 slides and it has a dry weight of 12,751 lbs. and a pin weight of 2270 lbs. Add the bike and a few other things such as food, propane and gear and he should roughly 13,000 plus. If he has a new Dodge 2500, not a problem. If it is an older 2500, I would say he is over. Don't know all the facts about truck and rv. This is only a quick snap shot.
