1320 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I weighed my truck and trailer, and was surprized with 26160 lbs. 12100 about on the truck 7k+ on the rear 5+ on the front 13+k on the trailer. I checked my tries, all under weight. Im licenced for a non cdl class A, and I took my test with my current truck and trailer. I know some will say Im over the gvw of the truck, but Im out of warranty long long ago. On the way back, I was a bit lighter missing fuel and water. I was again surprised that I pulled potesi easy even though I was slowed down behind a car hauler semi, and then accelerated up the hill. I also used 24.46 gallons round trip. In the trailer was, 1. 50 cc quad 2. 110 cc quad (big one) 3. blaster 4. banshee 5. polaris 500 4x4 6. suzuki samuria on four paddles and not much body. 7. 144 inch wb four passesnger subie 6 rail two ac's, air compressor, nitrogen tank, toilet, sink, small water tank, two generators, etc.. Im guessing the beds, and tools weigh a lot. Quote

1320 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 LOL pete, yea, to many solid gold 3$ washers..... I scaled at the truck stop on windmill/blue diamond and industrial. It cost 8.50. My trailer is 10000 dead empty and its a cargo trailer, ie race car trailer. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Last time I weighed mine I was at 25,600 someting...I couldnt believe it. Now I'm probably over 26 because I lined the whole trailer with bedliner which added 500 pounds and now bring a DS650 instead of a Raptor and a the Tracker instead of my rail I got about the same mileage you did Quote

sanddunesaddict Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I dont really know I need to stop one of these trips and re-weigh it. I dont know if I want to know though. Quote
powerhouse Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I got to check mine today , 22560 lbs with a empty ice chest !! Quote
Mr. Edgy Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I got to check mine today , 22560 lbs with a empty ice chest !! Damn, I would hate to see the scale ticket if the cooler was full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shocked2: Quote
1320 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 I got to check mine today , 22560 lbs with a empty ice chest !! I was talking to friend last night.....why everything is getting heavier. A 1965 big block corvette weighed 3250, with an iron block, iron heads, iron exhuast manifolds, steel wheels, etc. etc, but now the carbon fiber zr1 with an all aluminum 6.2 liter is suppose to 3350? Probably not a peice of iron in the whole car. Gas is 3.50 a gallon, diesel in 4.00 so lets drive 4000 lb cars and 6600-8800 lb trucks....... Quote
britincali Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 My tiny little 19" ultralight (ya rite) travel trailer is close to 7000lb when loaded, add two bikes in the truck bed with gas and wood and I think im a little over my 5000lb max tow rating :shocked2: Quote
dusthol Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 wow a 19" ultralite that wieghts that much? must b some heavy iron. Quote
