Have a 2010 Ford F250 crew cab 4x4 super duty diesel. Ford data shows 15300 pounds maximum towing weight. We tow a 2008 Montana 3485SA fifth wheel trailer. The shipping weight listed in the trailer is 12,000 lbs. The GVWR is 15250. We stopped at a CAT Scales on the way home from a trip a couple days ago to weigh the rigs. CAT scales weight each axle at the same time.
The scale printout is:
Steering axle: 5200 lbs.
Drive axle: 5860 lbs.
Trailer axles: 10340 lbs.
Total: 21400 lbs.
What's the opinion of the weight experts? The trailer was loaded with the usual stuff for a trip. The only variable is the food in the refrigerator.
Check your RAWR and tire rating to be sure but assuming those are up to snuff I think you're fine at those weights. I imagine your RAWR is well over 6000 lbs.
Edit - apparently it's 6100 lbs so not well over 6000, but still comfortably over the scaled weight.
