You know, I guess I'm not really asking for specific advice.. The truck camper stuff is all new to me since I'm used to towing. So I guess I was just posting to either look for some gentle reassurance vs DON"T EVEN DRIVE THAT TRUCK ANOTHER MILE. And if the latter... I guess I would tuck my tail and think really hard about selling my new truck for a 1 ton.
The truck is fine.
I see your state Idaho motor vehicle weight regs tell us the gross weight of any two (2) or more consecutive axles shall be the sum of the axle weights. So your well under the truck mfg axle rating. And of as you found out the truck stops fine as brake performance is the sum of 6000 frt and 6084 rear gawrs = 12084 lb at a minimum. Like most 3/4 ton trucks they may share the same brake specs with their one ton srw sister.
Not all states have a registered gvw on non commercial vehicles. My state has no weight number on the trucks registration. I see other members say their state may use a gcw/gvw/gvwr/tonage or other type of weight.
Just make sure you registered properly....for your state.
