CCLB 4x4 SRW 6.7 with less than 100lbs of stuff and me in it:

5020 front
3440 rear
8480 total (I know those numbers add up to 8460 but the scale at work is precise to 20lbs)

That is with a tilt up fabric tonneu, some tie-downs, and a couple chains.

7000 rear axle rating = rear axle payload available = 3560 lbs.

At 11,500 lb gvwr that is 3020 lbs available payload - less than the rear axle can take.

Interesting to see the numbers.

Also, interesting to note, the Leer 180 cap with the truck empty puts me around 9000lbs. That means the cap is around 500lbs, if not more. I didn't think it weighed that much!

 

The 3000 lb payload is causing me concern when looking at a 2017 (same payload). I thought I was getting a SRW-friendly 5th wheel with a rated dry pin of 1940#. With the options, I weighed it at 2200# empty. With the hitch, dog, and family of 5, we have another 1000# in the truck, leaving only 2000# for the pin. I suspect it will be 2400# when we are loaded for camping. 14k trailer with a light pink is too much for a Ford F350 SRW if you have a family of 5. (Under tire and axle ratings, but over gvwr/payload.)

 

I carry a good amount of tools in my tool box on my truck. Around 150# or so. With that, hitch, 4 people and 150 pounds of dogs, my dually weighs around 9800 pounds...Yep, these things are heavy.

 

Man, that is one heavy dually. Obviously we have an earlier model truck, but with full tank of fuel and my wife and I in the truck, we are just over 8,000 pounds on our CAT slip with the Reese hitch and truck box full of junk.

My old 05 F-250 cclb srw Weighed 7,000 even with a full tank of fuel.

 

My DRW comes in around 9300 lbs without a hitch and not too much fuel. Was just dropping a load Saturday across the scales.

 

Senix, how come your dually weighs so much? I just Cat scaled my '16 F350 KR dually (F450 front end) with a full tank and it came in at 8720 lbs. Why would yours weigh roughly 580 lbs more?

 

tool box and headache rack and front bumper and winch

 

Wow, I like that front bumper.

That would look pretty good on my black dually and maybe a cow catcher on it.

 

That reminds me... I still don't have my winch mount made up. I have a Superwinch Talon 18SR waiting to get hooked up. Thing is, I need a custom mount inside the bumper with a heavy duty receiver as I need to move it from the front to back. The winch itself is over 200lbs I believe. Then at least 150 for steel for the mount. Adds up.

 

look at some ranch hand bumpers with a front receiver.

 

What does one do with a winch on the front of a pickup that looks like it spends a fare amount of time pulling a fiver?

 

Won't work Scott - none of the manufactured ones are strong enough/high enough ratings that I've seen. My idea is to have a 2.5" receiver, also, not a 2". Mine would probably see more action off the rear hitch anyway - so I can pull myself out the way I went in

 

I think you will have to build it then.

 

I have an Iron Cross front bumper on mine, I cut out the iron cross emblem below the winch mount and made a 2.5" receiver that bolts to the bottom of the mount, below the winch, it is very sturdy and comes out at the right height. If you don't have a permanently mounted winch, Iron Cross makes a bolt in 2" receiver that mounts in the winch opening, it would also easy to duplicate in a 2.5".
