So the new pig has a GVWR of 11,100 and invoice for truck shows 6,589 shipping weight of the truck. Wouldn’t this leave a payload capacity of 4,511?
payload sticker on door jamb says 3,888.
what am I missing.
thanks
Tim
The sticker on mine says GVWR is 10,800lbs and 2,751lb payload. I went to the CAT scale a couple of weeks ago and weighed in at 8,480lbs. So according to the scale I have 2,230lbs of payload left.
Got to the scales today! still trying to get to the available pin weight for fifth wheel.
The truck with me in it and full of gas we are at 7280.... ive plugged in the numbers, the only unknown is the hitch.
i feel i will have right around 3k for pin weight.
payload sticker 3888, actual payload 4214.
would love to hear your thoughts on what i have here.
Just wondering how you got to an actual payload of 4214. 11,100 GVWR minus 7100 actual curb weight of truck equals 4,000. What is the Gross Rear Axle Weight Rating for your truck. You don't want to exceed the axle rating. That is a more important consideration than payload.

weight of gas is 214.
rear axle is related at 6780. Tires are rated at 3415 each @ SRW

Rear GAWR is 6,780, so subtract your scaled rear axle weight to get your remaining capacity on the rear axle:
6780 - 3160 = 3,620 lbs.
As you add passengers, stuff, hitch, etc, your rear axle capacity will be used a little. Absolute "sure fire" method would be to load up the tanks, the family, all the stuff and the hitch, then re-weigh on the scale.
In theory, you should run out of GVWR before you run out of GAWR

yep I understand. So a portion of the stuff will be distributed across both axles... and the only true way to know is like you said.
we are planning to purchase so just want to make sure we fall within the numbers or real close.
thanks for the help.
