The truck weighs around 6800 lbs. If I add the hitch and drive axle weights and subtract the weight of the truck alone, I come up 3680 or about 880 lbs over on the hitch weight. Is my math right?
I doubt your truck weighs 6,800# ready to tow, our old 2001 Ram scaled 7,800# ready to tow with hitch and in bed tool box.
You need to drop the 5er and scale the TV front and rear axles, my guess is that you have about a 2,400# pin.
