I weighed my trailer axles only, with WD hitch hooked up, to get a true reading of the actual weight on the tires. Came out at 8,660 pounds fully loaded with both motorcycles.

GVWR 11,560 lbs
Axle weight 6,260 lbs
Ship/Dry weight 7,420 lbs, which I doubt is accurate.

The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Crew Cab DRW Duramax/Allison has the following numbers:

--Gross vehicle weight rating: 11,400
--Max trailer weight (5th wheel): 16,400 lbs (2wd), 16,000 lbs (4x4)
--Gross combined weight rating: 23,500 lbs

Here are the nums on my truck and trailer combo as weighed on a CAT scale:

* front axle - 4240
* rear axle - 5900
* trailer axles - 9520
* total gross combined weight - 19660
* pin weight of trailer - 2380
* total weight of trailer - 11900
* total weight of truck (see above) - 7760

The trailer is a Cedar Creek 34RLBS. It only has two slides and therefore is probably one of the lighter ones.

My margins are:

--Gross vehicle weight rating minus actual vehicle weight equals excess load capacity:
---11,400 - 7760 = 3640 lbs.

--Excess load capacity minus actual load equals load carrying margin:
---3640 - 2380 = 1260 lbs.

--Max trailer weight (5th wheel) minus actual trailer weight equals trailer weight margin:
---16,400 - 11900 = 4500 lbs.

--Gross combined weight rating minus actual combined weight equals gross combined weight margin:
---23,500 -19660 = 3840lbs.
