Imagine my suprise!

[RColston]

Took my truck to the scales the other day to refresh my memory about how overloaded I might be when I tow my 5th Wheel. Rear axle 3600 lbs, not a huge problem. Front axle 4280. 4280, . I can add a whole 120 lbs to the front axle without exceeding the rated max. of 4400lbs. We'll see when my trailer is out of the shop, what the loaded weight looks like, but i'm thinkin it might be medium duty truck time. I need to add a gen set to the coach, which will probably put me over on the rear as well. As for the CGW, I know im over at least 2000 lbs, with the coach lightly loaded.

I drive an 04 3500 dually and always have that much weight on the axles... . I've got mine licenced for 12K lbs... . and run it close to that all the time..... Have had no problems with the tires, or brakes... .



I am looking at the 4500 and 5500, or at least have seen some pre-order stuff from my dealer..... and want to order at least one 5500 after they are available late this fall or early spring.....
