I finally had time to get some weights today at the CAT scale -
both 30 lb propane tanks full
truck only
f 4400
r 2880
truck with trailer, weight bars in place
f 3840
r 4180
t 6640
truck with trailer, weight bars in disc
f 3740
r 4320
t 6620
ratings on the truck are
f 4850
r 6040
max tow 11450
if think that makes my tongue wt about 740 lbs on a 7380 trailer so just over 10%. Is that correct?
it pulls and handles great, no sway, hardly even notice a big rig passing either direction so don't think I need to change anything but want some opinions none the less.
Also, I did weigh before I emptied the tanks (black showed 2/3 but it didnt change after dump, grey was 2/3 but I know it was correct as I had filled the fresh and ran it down to 1/3 flushing the lines - 46 fresh, 42 black and grey) as well, it was:
f 3820
r 4240
t 6900
the trailer is supposed to weight 6786 unloaded, 9680 gvwr
