Then he wrote: I took my truck to a CAT scale with a full tank of diesel total weight was 8060 with me in the cab front axel 4800 and rear axel 3260

Removing the cap that weighs?? should leave him about 3,000 lbs before he meets the rear gross rating of 6,100. The tires may or may not exceed that number without knowing what tires are on the truck.

He shows: GVW is 10,000 and the truck at the scales was already 8060lbs. No matter how you look at it this truck will be overloaded by the numbers he has given towing this trailer. Will the truck tow and move the load, sure, will it be within the stated max weight numbers, no. Something will be over the trucks manufacturers ratings.
