Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal

[juzplanekrazy]

I don’t know if it’s been done before or not but I was thinking about keeping a running list of real truck weights by year and type, and trailer weights by brand, size and what the total combined weight is of each guys rig. I was hoping the info would be a help for guys wondering about what the real weights are for a certain type of truck and to keep track of the more popular brand 5th wheel trailers. Another thing that will come out of it will be to see just how many guys really know what they are towing and if they know what their weight capacities are.
I’m sure it will take some time to compile a list and it will grow as guys add there info but I’m hoping it will help the newer guys in the long run to be directed back over to this thread in the future.
I’ll keep the TV lists to mainly the big 3 and from ¾ ton and up and I’ll try to keep the 5ers in a group by real GVW, length, and then manufacture. Any ideas are welcome as long as it makes things easier. And only real information can be given, so no guessing allowed. Only guys that have scaled there rigs or are totally certain of the weights.
Let’s see if I can keep the format real simple to type down and that will make it simpler for guys to refer back to and to keep track of.
Here we go……

TV - 2006 Dodge Mega Cab 3500 4x4, real scaled weight with full fuel, hitch, DH-DW and misc. gear = 7,500lbs. TV GVWR is 10,200lbs
5ver – KZ New Vision TH 38ft 14,500lbs loaded GVW. GVWR is 18,000lbs
Normal running TV & TH GCW weight= 22,500lbs, TV GCWR is 23,000lbs
Real Wet Pin Weight=2,950lbs

TV= 2005 Dodge 3500 Single Rear Wheel Quad Cab Cummins/ Manual 6 speed 4WD
Empty truck, only full of fuel, hitch in bed and driver (me)= 7600 lbs
GVWR 9900 lbs Front GAWR 5200 lbs, empty 4560/ Rear GAWR 5200 lbs, empty 3040
Trailer= 2006 Coachmen 28' Spirit of America 526RLS with second A/C in BR and no extra goodies in the trailer (picked it up after service w/ empty tanks and of course minimum "stuff")
Pin weight 1620 lbs, Axle weights combined 6320 lbs GVWR 8600 lbs/ Total trailer weight fairly empty is 7940 lbs.
TV weights with trailer hooked up are: Front 4560, Rear 4660 for Gross Vehicle Weight of 9220 lbs. That leaves 680 lbs for wife, dogs, firewood, jacks and extra hitch pin weight- not a LOT. Trailer has 660 lbs of capacity left, again- not a LOT. I feel that the trailer is way too close to max GVWR with very little in it, the 2nd A/C didn't add but about 150 lbs total, the design is just too close to the max weight. I am comfortable with the truck weight even if I go over 10,000 lbs, I just wouldn't want to get too close to the combined Axle Weight Ratings of 11,400 lbs. Hope that meets the requirements.

TV- 2001 Dodge diesel dually quad cab 3500 with full tank of fuel, hitch, and us: 7775lbs. GVWR is 10,300 I believe. GCWR: 20,000lbs I think for the 3.55 rear end.
TV with 5er: 10,250lbs equals a pin weight of 2475lbs.

5er is 2003 Montana Big Sky 3280RL: Loaded weight with all empty tanks: 9920lbs.

GCVW: 20,170lbs.

The motorcycle trailer adds about 1500lbs total, and takes 230lbs from the pin weight. GCVW: 21,700lbs.

These weights are all from the CAT scale here in Platte City.

I gave that info in my post, I am within my manufactures ratings. 😉

I have added Timbrens to help the loaded ride and keep the truck level. The stock tailgate is replaced with a Stromberg-Carlson flow thru gate. Running boards and tailgate are equal to the same weight of the stock tailgate.
