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……

The above weight was returning from Florida with about #500 extra lbs on board in the truck box including 3 tool boxes, television, microwave, suitcases, misc boxes of food and other junk that I normally do not carry, about 500 extra lbs. that was onboard when I had it weighed.

LOADED WEIGHTS Scale Rated

Rear axle 5920 6010
Trailer while attached to truck 9280

Truck alone Scale ticket

Front axle 4380 5200
Rear axle 3060 6010
Truck overall empty 7440 GVWR 9000
Truck only with camper attached 10300 GVWR 9000

Over ratings 1300 Minus the 500 lbs extra about 800# over GVWR rating.
Air lifts add 1000# capacity so if I had air lifts I would be under ratings. Truck does not sag and rides, drives, stops well.

The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Crew Cab DRW Duramax/Allison has the following numbers:

--Gross vehicle weight rating: 11,400
--Max trailer weight (5th wheel): 16,400 lbs (2wd), 16,000 lbs (4x4)
--Gross combined weight rating: 23,500 lbs

Here are the nums on my truck and trailer combo as weighed on a CAT scale:


* front axle - 4240
* rear axle - 5900
* trailer axles - 9520
* total gross combined weight - 19660
* pin weight of trailer - 2380
* total weight of trailer - 11900
* total weight of truck (see above) - 7760

The trailer is a Cedar Creek 34RLBS. It only has two slides and therefore is probably one of the lighter ones.

My margins are:

--Gross vehicle weight rating minus actual vehicle weight equals excess load capacity:
---11,400 - 7760 = 3640 lbs.

--Excess load capacity minus actual load equals load carrying margin:
---3640 - 2380 = 1260 lbs.

--Max trailer weight (5th wheel) minus actual trailer weight equals trailer weight margin:
---16,400 - 11900 = 4500 lbs.

--Gross combined weight rating minus actual combined weight equals gross combined weight margin:
---23,500 -19660 = 3840lbs.

I weighed my trailer axles only, with WD hitch hooked up, to get a true reading of the actual weight on the tires. Came out at 8,660 pounds fully loaded with both motorcycles.

GVWR 11,560 lbs
Axle weight 6,260 lbs
Ship/Dry weight 7,420 lbs, which I doubt is accurate.

[ryoung]

2004 Dodge Dually, CTD, 6 speed, 4.10 gears, 30 gal. aux fuel tank. With 2 passengers, 65 gal fuel, 16K hitch, minimal tools.

The truck scaled at 8300 lbs.

Truck Ratings:
Front axle 4740
Rear axle 9350
GVWR 11500
GCVWR 23000

Fiver GVWR 15000

Last trip across the scales with the SunnyBrook:

Front axle 4620
Rear axle 6940
Trailer axles 11040

Total truck axles 11560
Combined truck and trailer 22600

With the Lance TC loaded the truck scales at 11600 lbs. Dont have the axles weights handy but can look them up if someone would like to know. More weight obviously goes to the front axle.
