Truck full of fuel, hitch, tonneau cover, two dogs, wife and I:
Steer 5390
Drive 4730
Total 10,120
And pinned up:
Steer 5434
Drive 8294
Trailer 13728
GCVW 27,456
GCWR 37,800
2015 Ram 3500 DRW Mega Cab with 50 gallon Transfer Flow auxiliary tank and B&W Companion hitch, towing a 2015 Dynamax Trilogy 38RE. Full of fuel, myself, wife and two dogs. Trailer stocked for camping including 3 30 pound propane tanks, full fridge and pantry, and full fresh tank. 5500 Onan, separate washer and dryer, 4 deep cycle batteries, residential fridge.
Under on all axles roughly as follows:
Front 500lbs
Drive 1500
Trailer group 2250
But GVWRs I only have 300 pounds on truck. Trailer has over 1k room. I would like a bit more weight on the steer axle, but it tows so nicely now, and can turn sharper than I am willing to twist the axles with side stress. If truck didn't have auto levelling maybe it would be an issue?
