Finally Weighed my Rig

You're at about 22K combined, what your GCWR? I suspect with the dually you're still under that too...

GCWR for my manual transmission is actually 21,000 so I'm 700 over. But that's an imaginary number right? (As in not printed on door jam)
3.73 in auto is 25,000
Not sure if it's the clutch that makes the difference.

So even a dually can be not enough truck...

That is one heavy bumper pull! Dry Wight of 9310. What is the GVWR of the trailer. Chris

That is a heavy bumper pull! Love the floor plan!

True story, 3 years ago the dealer tried to sell me a similar camper, dry weight was 8900, floor plan was the same except a second bunk and no centre island. I had a 1500 ram!!

With dually I would think towing it fairly stress free?

Lol, unofficially the clutch is one of the culprits but the main reason for the lower gcvw rating is power. They're not rated to tow as much with the de tuned engine in front of the hand shaker trans......because of the clutch.
Stock truck, the clutch SHOULD last you awhile. I got one buddy who's got probably 100k on the OE dmf clutch with virtually no towing, no mods, not much city driving.
I'm a little tougher on clutches I guess. Tuned truck, lots of traffic/grocery getter duty which was likely the biggest cause of wearing out the clutch quickly, plus some heavy hauling/ towing, got 40k out of the OE clutch, 80k out of a Southbend OFE clutch, now on its 3rd clutch!

Trailer gross is 11,250 I believe. I'm looking to upgrade tires before any Spring trips. I also have a 98 gallon TransferFlow tank in the bed and a high top Leer camper shell. That's one reason we have stayed with TT instead of going to a 5th wheel as we like the covered space in the bed.

With those axle ratings I'm surprised the GVWR is not higher. My motorhome (built on a commercial cutaway chassis) had a GAWR front of 4600, rear 9450 and the GVWR was 14050. Just part of the mysteries of weight ratings.
