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

Yeah, I didn't know any better. :S

When I weighed the trailer it had all our stuff in it (we are full-timers) and the fresh, gray and black water tanks were all about 1/3 full, plus both propane bottles were full.

We now have a new TV and I have moved most of the heavier stuff to a box on the TV plus we don't travel with much water in the tanks.

The current TV is indeed one of the "Big Three" - Kenworth, Peterbuilt and Volvo! :B

See signature for vehicle info

Limits
GVWR = 11,400#
GCWR = 23,500#
FAWR = 4,800#
RAWR = 6,550#

Without 5th Wheel: Front = 4,650#, Rear = 3,660#, Total = 8,310#

With 5th Wheel: Front = 4,520#, Rear = 6,525#, Total = 11,045#

Trailer axles = 10,670#

Actual Pin Weight = 2,735# = 2,735/(2,735+10,670) = 20.4%
** Manufacturer's listed dry = 2,110# **

Total GCWR = 11,045+10,670 = 21,715

I need to load up everything and go to the scales, probably convince me to buy that F-450 a lot sooner. :B But seriously, I want to know the weights with the setup I have now.

GREAT THREAD...
I need to get down to the local CAT Scales and do the deed...

[psneeld]

Maybe this is one of those threads that should be a sticky so "newcomers" or anyone could hopefully get some real world numbers.

It would be great if it were a standard format (even the cat scale uploads are nice with amplifying info) for easy reading.

With the thread search capability...it might be easy to find the rig combo you are dreaming about....

whadja think??????

[boogeyman]

I just want to jump in and say thanks for someone finally asking the question. I'm curious if all of you have a "loaded pin weight".

Great info Guys, Please keep it simple. This is not a test, it is not about being a weight police or a weight nazi. I want to compile a list of real weights for truck and trailers, That is all there is to it. So please post real information.
