Truck Weight... Loaded with 2 passengers, gear, dog and hitch.
Front Axle: 5,150 FAWR: 6,000
Rear Axle: 3,600 RAWR: 7,000
Total: 8,750 GVWR: 11,700
Truck with Loaded ready to camp 5th wheel...
Front Axle: 5,150
Rear Axle: 6,550
Total: 11,700
Trailer axles: 10,100 Axle Rating 2 x 6000 = 12,000
GCW: 21,800 GCWR: 25,000
Pin Weight: 2,950 (6,550 - 3600) Dry Pin Weight: 2095
Trailer GVW: 13,050 (10,100 + 2950) GVWR 14,085
Trailer Cargo: 1,155 (13,050 - 11,895 Dry Weight)
GCW: 11,700 + 10,100 = 21,800 GCWR 25,000
I was a little surprised how much of our cargo weight of 1,115 lbs contributed to the total pin weight (2,950 - 2095 = 855 lbs).
Proving yet again... the published dry pin weights from the manufacturers are of very little help when considering your trucks actual payload capacity.
