A lot of useful information provided with different options thanks to all. Sorry my original post may have been confusing I knew what I wanted to ask but didn't articulate it well. I basically want to be sure I don't exceed my my trailers GVWR nor its GAWR (single axel trailer).
So if I can get a scale with three weight areas I'll conduct that way as it will get me all the info. If I only can find one that does only one measurement I'll just pull foward so truck is not on the scale to get my axel weight and can do a separate tongue weight. My assumption is my tongue weight rated dry I think is 285 so my assumption now I'm probably pushing 400 with battery and some light items up front. However we will see soon.
Truck is a non issue as weight and tongue weight are well under my capacity at the moment and not had any tow, sway or control issues. Tongue weight doesn't even move truck down so maybe I'm my estimate of 400 is on the high side.
Thanks for everyone's quick replys.
