Put this together for towing a 5th wheel, now I wait for my Vin#. Just wondering if someone has something close to this that you might have had weighed at a scale. Also soon to be member of the BSEG club.

Greetings from Dawson City BC

My 2000 is almost the same truck and I scaled it before we left for Alaska and the truck full of fuel including the 50 gal aux tank and all the tool boxes full scaled 7880 lbs. Also the truck and trailer grossed 24160 lbs with 3300 lbs pin. We have shed some weight mostly water so it should be back to its normal 23500 lbs. I always put extra water on when we are winterizing out home base and dump off some after the scales.


I would love to have a 3V V10 with a TS but I just can't wear my old lowly 2V out. 8 years and still going strong

Denny
