Hooked up, your GVW is 4920+6420=11,340. You're already a little over your GVWR. Once you add your dogs and other misc cargo, I think that you will be a few hundred pounds over your GVWR. It seems that few people care about that spec though. What is the GVWR for your truck?
GVWR according to the door sticker is either 11,500 or 11,600... forget which.
Thanks. So being over a few hundred pounds... how big of a problem is that? Is that the overweight/overloaded thing people talk about? By comparison, what is the GVWR number on a dually? Diesel, standard bed, crew cab, Lariat, 2011 or newer?

Newer pickup dually, 14k; chassis cab, more.
After worrying too much about this, IMO, the main issue is to not overload your tires. The engine, frame, trans, brakes, etc.are the same as the dually; the rear is rated much higher than the rawr - limited by the springs.
