Just tossing it out there; I'M FAT!!
Finally weighed the truck with the camper, full water, propane, fuel, generator, dog, etc., all loaded up and ready to go. You name it, we packed it. 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie Package w/diesel,...

skipro...I would be very curious to know what the 855S weighs. The numbers you posted-witout weighing your truck-don't mean much.
Best GUESS is your truck weighs 7100#-7400#?
This mean your 855S locked/loaded = 4400#-4700#?
Anyone have same truck that can comment?
Bill
I think these numbers are probably about right
If it was me I would weigh the truck without the camper to see if the number for the front axle is less with camper, the over all weight is not totally a concern to me since its within axle and tire limits but a camper should add a little weight to the front not unload it
But if it feels safe and your happy thats whats important
I think alot of the reason 2500 trucks have a lower gvw than they should have may be because the manufacturer wants to sell them and a higher # would mean increaced insurance and dmv weight fees for reg.
Most folks use 2500`s like cars, and if you want a diesel you cant buy a 1500
On my Dodge 2500 quad cab 4x4 diesel a 1200 load capacity is a joke
I would`nt have even been able to carry any of the 3 popups Ive had on it if I went by that
