I just weighed my truck and trailer and thought I would post them in case anyone else with a 3250 would like a very general idea of their weights.
Truck was full of fuel
Driver in truck (me)-260 lbs.
Full propane and loaded with gear and clothes. Minimal food, no fresh water and holding tanks empty.
Of course all the above are huge variables.
Truck-09 2500HD CC SB w/ D/A 6780
Trailer only .........................12,320
Gross weight .......................19,100
Truck and trailer axle breakdown
Truck front axle....... 4180
Truck rear axle........ 5460
Trailer front axle ......4620
Trailer rear axle .......4840
Pin weight ..............2860
Trailer axle combined 9460
I could not do individual wheel weight.
The only surprised was the pin weight. I guess I carry more stuff than I thought. I might also add that this includes a rear wagon carrier that I built but did not have the bikes loaded in the wagon. The wagon and the rack probably weigh 100 lbs combined. I never weighed either one when I was through with the carrier.
Adding food for a week, my DW who was running the scales, the bikes and maybe a few more clothes (not many) I would probaly gross out at 19500.
Pretty pleased with the results.
