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

I Don't know if this will simplify things or not, but on one of the RV Forums I belong to, a link was posted to a website strictly for weights on fifth wheels. The link is www.fifthwheelst.com

It definately helped me and if it can unconfuse me then hopefully it can help everyone. By the way, the above address is not a link so you will probobly have to type it into your address bar. Hope this helps.

Just weighed the truck yesterday, my tubby carcass, full tank of fuel, hitch, and everything I normally carry in the truck plus a set of golf clubs for good measure. :B

Now I need to weigh the truck and trailer combo at some point.

The truck.
2006 F350 CC 6.0
Crew Cab 4x4 6.75ft bed

Came in at. 8160LBS

[Camps_with_Crit]

Here is one to provoke thought:
My rig:
Truck full fuel & 2 persons 20,820 lb
Trailer full water & propane 23,540 lb (5,430 lb pin)
Smart Car on truck 1780 lb
Gross weight 46,140 lbs
All axles well below max weight and vehicles under GVWR & GCWR.
Please leave space if pulling out in front of me, if I hit you it will likely leave a mark!

2010 Ram 3500 6.7 CTD 4x4 CCLB DRW. Myself and my 7 year old son in the cab with just short of a full tank of fuel. I will post again when I have the trailer and the truck together.

Steer Axle- 5040 lbs
Drive Axle- 3300 lbs
Gross - 8340 lbs

Truck GVW- 12200lbs

Finally got the truck and trailer on the scale yesterday on the way home from a camping trip.

Steer Axle- 5040 lbs, no change from empty.
Drive Axle- 5560 lbs
Trailer Axle- 7900 lbs
GCW- 18500 lbs

This was with me and about the same amount of fuel as the empty weigh, but my 77 lbs son was not in the truck. Also, the empty weight did not include my hitch.

Empty ticket.

Please if anyone out there could give me some idea of where we stand I would be ever so grateful. I have a headache from trying to figure it out. I read all the posts and I am still too stupid to get it. Took the truck out to weigh with full fuel and me.
This is what I got at the CAT scale.

Steer Axle 4720 #
Drive Axle 3460 #
Gross weight 8180 #

Went back and weighed with 5er partially ready to go. No food or clothes yet.

I know how you feel Jo. I suggest you check out the following website. I think it will help you make sense of it all.

Loads when weighed.

Truck, half fuel, hitch, a box of firewood and me.
Trailer, full fresh water, no food or clothes or misc trip items.

Truck only w/ trailer hitched = 10260
Truck only, unhitched = 8060
Calculated pin weight = 2200

Trailer only while hitched = 8820
Trailer only unhitched = 11100
Calculated pin weight = 2280

20% of 11100 trailer weight = 2220

Frank and others,

I'm sorry. Now you can refer to me as that idiot Dave. Just as I sat down in church this morning, my error flashed in my brain like a neon sign. To make me feel worse, the pastor preached at me. Boy I wanted to leave right then to delete my comment.

That's the trouble I get into sometimes when I'm in a hurry and writing on 3 different topics on 2 forums. A real case of brain fart.

++++++++++++++++
I believe the correct statement is

GVWR will always be LESS than the total weight of the front and rear GAWR. I've never seen the combined weight of the front and rear GAWR LESS than the GVWR
