I hit the CAT scales and my estimate of being slightly over the GVWR was correct. I'm 180 lbs over but below the axle weights by a good margin. That's with a full tank of gas. In the bed of the truck is a generator, two folding bikes and spare fuel. Rear axle weight is 3880 (4100 lb limit) Front is 3400 (3900 limit) brings me to 7280(7100 limit) Trailer axle is 5560.
I'm fine with those weights. That's even lighter than I had hoped on the rear axle so as far as I'm concerned it's a perfect setup.
Sounds good to me. I have always wondered why GVWR would be less than the combined axle limits and assumed that it must be a cooling issue with the transmission or brakes. Or maybe it is just to give you some flexibility in where you put the weight. Whatever, you are only about 1.5% over and that is with a full tank of gas. I feel sure that there are a lot of vehicles on the road more overloaded than that with drivers that are blissfully unaware of what they are doing. With the care that you have taken so far I am certain that you will make adjustments in your driving to stay safe.
