Re: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
Just found out mine, trying to find where the weight is..... TV 2007 Chevy CC D/A 4wd Dually with hitch, full of fuel, toolbox, 2 adults, 2 children, and dog. 8240lbs 5th Wheel -2007 KZ Sportsmen Sportster 37KGX3 - sticker weight dry 11,556. Sticker GVWR is 16,940. Actual scaled weight with all our clothes, food, etc and a golf cart, DRY!, 19,120. Sticker hitch weight 2940, actual 3520. I don't see a problem here. Looks normal. However the total weight on the axles is 15,600... that's 1,600 over the axle rating and 600 over the tire rating. I am at a loss. I hope it is scale error. I will be reweighing this weekend. Total GCWR 27,220!!! Truck rated at 23,500. I have no idea where the weight is. I can only hope that the scale was wrong. We did not load 7500 lbs of gear in here. Not to mention the fact that all tanks were empty and I have a 110 gallon fresh tank.....224Views0likes0CommentsRe: Your Rig
juzplaincrazy, Not to shy off topic but this has been really bugging me lately. How can you tow the 5th wheel you have with the Dodge Mega Cab? I was looking at them yesterday and I noticed that they have almost no payload capacity for a 1 ton truck with the mega cab. According to Dodge, that max payload for the truck with 4wd, single rear wheels and a mega cab is 2767 lbs. Maximum tow rating of 15100. Your 5'er is 2974 dry hitch weight and 17900 GVWR. Granted, I realize that you may not fill the trailer up, but it's the pin rating that bothers me. I don't see why Dodge would limit a 1 ton truck to a 3/4 ton payload rating either. I am not pointing any fingers to you, just looking for an answer. I would like to get a Mega cab but the limits they put on them really concern me. thanks, Scott433Views0likes0Comments
