I watched a suggested video and have read all the feedback I have received. My next step I guess will be going to a Scale with the Truck loaded up gas and all (except for the Hitch, I can get that weight easy enough and it is solely associated with the Rear Axel). From multiple sources it appears the Max Cargo/Pin Weight is only a manufacturing guideline (a fudgery as they assume certain factors), the more Legal DOT limitations are associated with the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR weights. Having the actual “weighted up” number for the Truck (total as well as by axel) with an estimated Hitch Weight I will have a pretty good idea of 5th Wheel Trailer limitations. I know where there is a CAT Scale, does anyone know how much they charge to Weigh a truck I could not find hat information on he Web. Now I have to take on the daunting task of removing the ARE Cap on the back, pretty heavy for a retired guy and his wife (but we have done it).
