Rear axle loaded weight Poll

[Oregun]

Recently I upgraded to 19.5 wheels/tires and have been thinking it's time to upgrade my old (1986)camper. So wondering how much weight others feel they can safely carry on their rigs rear axle for comparison purposes for those who wish to share.

Here is the Poll question: How much weight are you carrying on rear axle of your truck fully loaded with camper, water, gas, propane & any tows? Specify your configuration with the weight.

Here is my answer in bold to the poll with my current truck/tires, no tow for me.

99 F350 V10 SRW 2WD 245/70/19.5F, rear axle weight: 6980 lbs

With our TC fully loaded for a 10 day vacation- food, drink, clothes, gear, including a full (50 gal.) water tank we have 7600# on the rear axle.

17" OEM steel wheels with 3970# tires all around.

Handles great. BigWig, airbags, Bilsteins.

2006 Dodge 3500 SRW with 10K AAM rear axle, - modification capacities: 8K tires, 10K Rickson wheels, 12K rear air suspension. Empty around 3000 on rear.

39ft 3 axle toyhauler = 6500 on rear
8.5ft camper = 6000 on rear
8.5ft camper 16ft cargo trailer = 6500 on rear

working truck mode 6000-7000 on rear occasionally to 8000.

As far as I can find, my rear axle rating is 11000. More importantly the rear discs are about two inches bigger diameter compared to a F350 of the same year.

This would be more helpful if every one included axle rating and GVWR.

Fully loaded I am at 12,000 pounds on the rear axle. I think it is rated for 13,500 IIRC.

2006 Isuzu NRR with 19.5" dually.

With 11' Fleetwood camper, 20 foot boat on tandem axle trailer hitched, and family of 4 I've got 9,000 pounds on the rear axle. Truck is an '05 Chevy dually.

Wheels good to 9000 lbs, tires 12,600 lbs, so more margin built into than the last combo of 6800 lbs for wheels and 6400 lbs for tires. Yikes.

Any idea what your axle is rated at?

Yes sir.

AAM 11.5" is rated by AAM for 10,120 lbs.

On my longish trip to Yellowstone I weighed on the way back with full tanks all around with all of our stuff only two of us with my Brittany.

Steer Axle - 5720 Drive Axle - 8680 Gross Weight - 14400

This is for a truck that is 14500 GVWR with the loaded Host Rainier 9.5 Double slide camper in my signature and F450 4x4 pickup.

We have around 64-6500# on rear axle when ready to go camping. Just recently put rickson 19.5's and sumitomo tires. Made a world of difference in the handling.
