Re: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
The scale I was on, was at the local garbage transfer station so I couldnt get axle weights. The truck is bone empty, nothing but me and full tank of fuel. No tools,no hitch,nothing! I find it hard to believe that this truck can only "legally" handle another 1380# of payload. When I throw my wife and kids into the mix, I'm looking at just around 1,000# payload. I bought this thing with the intentions of buying a small fifth wheel. Could the scale be off?350Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
O.k. heres the deal, weighed my truck today. Its a 2008 Dodge 2500 Cummins 6.7 with an auto trans and an 8' bed. She came in right at 7620# with just me and a full tank of fuel. After reading ramcneal's post above me, its hard to imagine that an extra 2 feet of driveshaft,frame and sheet metal would end up being 580# more. Should I have gotten a shortbed and used that extra 580 elsewhere?350Views0likes0Comments
