butchb,
we had a thread about that not tooo long ago. It acame to be that it is a matter of opinion, but as long as you are under GCVW, axle and tire ratings and you are comfortable with the set upthen OK. The way the weight police look at you is combined so on a scale you look like a 10k truck towing a 13k trailer but I don't know of 3/4 tons rated for 23k GCVW.
now, this morning I went and weighed my new setup,
1999 f350 2wd dually v-10 long bed 4dr auto
- truck with full fuel 5er hitch, firewood and 100lb tools........6780
- front axle......................................................3960
- rear axle.......................................................2820
- rear with pin wt................................................5500
and the trailer 2007 cardinal 362bh w/half bath, all pots,pans,linens, all gear but no food of clothing and "simulated half tank h2o"
- trailer total..................................................13320
- trailer axles..................................................10640
- trailer pin.....................................................2680
now butchb, am i a 9460lb truck towing a 10640lb trailer or am I a 6720Lb truck towing a 13320lb trailer?
because either is true but I have had many tell me that i'm a 9460lb truck towing a 13320lb trailer which ads pi wt twice???? that I don't believe.
Yes, it is VERY open for interpretation !!!
Also we are 57'9" long
