Thanks Heath!

The number I'm looking for, is the Gross Combined Vehicle Rating.. What the total weight of the truck and trailer is allowed to be...

355 with the ZF is 12,000 lbs

410 with the ZF is 17,000 lbs.

 

[EMD_DRIVER]

410 with the ZF is 17,000 lbs.

Guess that means that I can't tow our 12,500GVW fifth wheel with it....

 

[trackspeeder]

Why not. It will move it with no problems. Factory specs were always on the light side.

I am 19,600 Truck and Trailer. Pull about 6,000 miles a year with no problems.

410 with the ZF is 17,000 lbs.

4.10 + ZF5 = 15k
4.10 + E4OD = 17k

Is 12,500 the weight of the trailer or its Gross Vehicle weight rating? I bet its the latter and the trailer probably weighs 10,000 or so.
Regardless it should tow fine. My family put 40k miles on a van trailer combo that was always 1 to 2 tons over GCWR. We crossed the rockies 4 times that way.

As it sits now, the trailer is around 10,100#

How do you get away with that in wa state? rumor is they are running folks across the scales there.Or are you just dodging them.

I have weighed in at 18,450 pounds, 3.55s. I had my dads cummins on our 20ft flatbed when his IP went out for the 2nd time. That was a freakin load for my truck.

the only thing in wa state that goes across the scales is tractor trailers. i forget the gvw cut off for scales but its a ways over your normal rv and truck.

No not here in Wa. only the big rigs and that is in Oregon all so. For work I drive a F 550 that scales at over 17,000 and I have been all over the west coast with it and never stopped at a scale.
