Here are some weights for our 2015 RAM SRW 3500 CC SB Laramie and 2017 Bighorn 3575el.
Front axle 5120
Rear axle 6620 (varies trip to trip on loading of truck and basement)
Truck sub 11740
Trailer axle 12780
Combined weight 24520
Pin weight runs 3K+/- depending on loading. As you can see if I had a trailer the started at 2900-3000 for dry pin weight then I would be over on the rear axle of the truck.
Truck weight ratings 11700 GVWR, Front Axle 6000, Rear Axle 7000, Combined 25,300
BH3575el Axles 7K GVWR 16,000
