Re: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
Our 2005 2500HD CC SB 4X4 6.0 and 2006 Mountaineer 319BHS ready to go for a weekend: Axle Scale / Rating Steer 3600 / 4800 Drive 5320 / 6084 Gross 8920 / 9200 Trailer 9120 / 10,160 (tandem axles) Overall 18040 / 16,000 (GCWR) Every axle is within specs, however my GCWR is exceeded by just over a ton. If my truck had the 8.1 gasser or the Duramax, it would have a 22,000 GCWR. So, brakes and frame are the same as the more powerful engines, I'll just climb the hills a tad slower. Pickup alone weigh 3540 on the steer, and 2940 on the drive axle, giving me a trailer weight of 11,560 and a pin weight of 2440. Montana says this trailer will have a hitch weight of 1770, I suppose that could be possible empty....Brochure gives trailer GVWR as 11,930 but sticker on the side of the camper says 12,105 for a GVWR. Tires are ST235/80R16 Load Range E with a load rating of 3560 per tire. The truck rides very nice and level with the stock suspension. Brochure also says the trailer weighs 9690 dry, so I have added 1870 pounds of water, propane, clothes, food, blocks, beer, etc. Hank481Views0likes0Comments
