YamaKiller Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Truck= 8600 empty Trailer= 17500 empty Loaded both 31100 Needless to say I have a lot of upgrades on the dodge to tow this setup. Hope I never hit the weight police One good thing WW did for me (only good thing they did) was my GVWR on trailer was 18,000. After buying it I went right to the scales and called and complained that I only had 500 lbs payload (not even enough for water) so they asked me what I wanted it to say. I told them and they sent me a new sticker. Stupid me only said 21000 because I did not think I had that much stuff but I can lose enough weight, if I had to, to get under my GVWR...dump water and fuel Edited September 10, 2008 by YamaKiller Quote

YamaKiller Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 shoulda asked them for 14999 so you wont need a non commerical class a when in CA Have you been to the nv DMV website lately. 5th wheels over 10000 need the endorsement. I thought it was 15,000 but just learned it is 10,000 Quote

If there 7-k your good but if there only rated for 6 grand it doesn’t matter what the sticker says the axel rating is wher they come up with GVWR be carful Just one more thing its not the ticket that’s the problem it’s the chance that you get into an accident & this comes up that’s where your screwed & with WW out of business the only one left is you just say'n Quote

dunefreak Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 I'm efing heavy!!! Other than figuring it out "on paper" and taking your best guess at it. How are you guys weighing your chit? truck scales like at a Flying J or Pilot truck stop. It's like 7 or 8 bucks and they give you a printout for each axle weight Quote

SandBox_Kid Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 My trailer says 13,000+ dry, and I've been pulled over and warned. I have a hard time believing a 25' tow behind weighs that much, but I know this season I need to "face the dragon" and get the R endorsement... :bert: Quote

I have a hard time believing a 25' tow behind weighs that much, but I know this season I need to "face the dragon" and get the R endorsement... :bert: That should be the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating: combined weight of the trailer PLUS the rated cargo capacity it can carry) Quote
RRC Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Last time we were on the scales we were 26k and some change, almost 27k, combined weight. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 thats not tooooo bad considering the monster your towing.. figgure 8-9k for the truck 18-19k for the trailer Quote
predu Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 2001 F-350 AND 27FT THOR TOWBEHIND WITH WATER GAS SANDRAIL AND QUAD STILL LOADED FROM A TRIP JUST NO FAMILY IN THE TRUCK 18800 Quote
spooner Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Truck with 230 gal of fuel and 120 gal of water + two quads 21,000 lbs Trailer loaded for a trip 18,600 lbs Grand total 39,600 lbs Just an easy pull down the highway. ... so Doug, you have only 11000 lbs left for tongue weight ? man, i love real trucks the door sticker on our Pete reads 50000lbs GVW (12000lbs front axle 2x 19000lbs rears). i removed one axle... (funny thing is that Dana/Eaton actually bumps the rating to 20000 on a single screw)....so now the new GVW is 32000 lbs. plenty of safety left in load capacity and (more important) brake capacity. maybe some peeps call this overkill ..... but i call it peace of mind... and it is actually a lot cheaper then a pickup truck Quote
