It certainly would be beneficial to see the actual, operating weights to include PIN weights vs the listed weights from the manufacturer on any given rig.

Truck is with me, wife, 2 kids, and full fuel (39 gal) Trailer is no liquids, 4 quads, all gear, food/beverage for 3 days Truck 05 F350 CC DRW 4WD 6.0 Auto Trailer 02 Thor Tahoe 33WTB Truck Only Weight Rating Over/Under Front Axle 4960 6000 -1040 Rear Axle 3700 9000 -5300 Truck GVW 8660 13000 -4340 Truck & Trailer Front Axle 5000 6000 -1000 Rear Axle 5840 9000 -3160 Trailer Axle(s) 7860 12000 -4140 Truck GVW 10840 13000 -2160 Trailer GVW 10040 13500 -3460 Hitch Pin 2180 Total (GCVW) 18700 23500 -4800 BTW, I've made an excel spreadsheet that you just enter your ratings, and the actual axle weights. Anyone can get the ratings off the truck/trailer stickers and the weights off the scale ticket. Calcs the pin weight and over/under (gives a green/yellow/red indicator). It would probably help anyone that gets confused from all the different numbers. If anyone would like it, just hit me up. 2005 F-350 CC DRW 4WD 6.0 2002 Tahoe 33WTB FW 2005 TRX450R 2002 TRX400EX 2003 Kasea90 2005 Kasea90 |
