Headed out for our first spring camping trip and while I was fueling up at a truck stop I checked the weight on a CAT scale ($10.00 for the use of the scale)
Steer Axle - 4900 lbs
Drive Axle - 6060 lbs
Trailer Axle - 9220 lbs
Cross Weight - 20,180 lbs
2 passengers in the truck, full tank of diesel (36 gallons) and 1 small dog. Trailer is packed for camping and about 1/3 tank of water. Propane tanks full, dual 12V batteries and the compartments loaded with "camping stuff".
Glad I upgraded to a newer 3500 HD back in 2011. It has a GVWR of 11,600 lbs. Axle ratings - 5600 lbs front and 7050 lbs rear. Having a diesel adds wight to the truck. I have air bags on the truck so I think that would shift some of the weight to the front axle. </span>
Our CF335SS has axles rated at 5200 lbs each. Weight leaving the factory was 10,014 lbs "dry". That leaves the load rating of about 2300 lbs.
For all those that have read some of my previous postings - no issues with the bed slide going in and out. Had a good down pour last night with good wind gusts - no leaks in the slide seals.
