I have tried to find out about tonnage on the trailer. I was told that is only for the big trucks. I tried calling DOT etc. This is for Wa state. Anyone have any info?

Based off your numbers, looks like you are running an '05 - '08 superduty. your GCWR on this truck should be 23,000lb, so you are ok all the way around. '99 - '04 superduties were only good on GCWR up to 20,000lb. Of course, these numbers are for F250/F350 SRW trucks.

Well, it would explain why his GCWR is 20k if his truck is 1999-2004. Which, I believe, it is. And the SRW and DRW CWR's are the same.

been searching around for maryland. my truck has a 10K limit for the truck. On a class C lic max is 26,000lbs for truck and trailer before you have to go commerical or heavy haul permit.

That is all I can find for this state. If anyone else finds something let me know.
