^ So even without weighing your front axle while bobtail, you just proved that your loaded 23,000lb GN trailer put virtually no weight on the front axle.
Measured curb weights for new/newer Dmax crew cab front axles are over 5000lbs. Couple quick searches report 5150lbs with driver and full tank of fuel and a bare 5ver hitch in bed, another was 5100lbs unspecified.
Let’s say your unladen FA weight is 5100 (prolly a shade more with the slip tank etc). How much weight is on the FA due to the big huge loaded trailer? Yup 1% ish, less than 2%, so 200lbs maybe 3, benefit of the doubt. But might be close to 0.
Regardless not adding significant FA weight.
