Hoping not....I know leaving stuff behind is never something we want to consider but sometimes it can be necessary
Once I get the total GVWR I will estimate front /rear using the ratio you suggested. I don't want bad things to happen on a 1000m drive down the baja .... I have tried to move weight forward in the bed and using the crew cab area as cargo space.There is buffer for loading with axle weights to 8000lbs. But as I showed very little of the weight goes to the front...it goes to the rear.
Many people think “it’s a truck so it can haul anything”. And to be fair, they can - until something breaks.yea, too close for comfort....
How do those guys with the campers on back do it? The campers alone weight 1000-1500# and then all the gear. They must be pushing the limits all the time....
As you noticed the diesel 2500 is not much better than a 1500 for Payload. Some limited diesels are down to just over 1800lbs.Am I missing something else though about the benefit of a 2500 that might only have a few
I am a new truck owner and the whole payload thing is confusing. The GRVW is 7100#; the sum of front and rear axle max weight 8000# and the curb weight is 5160#.
My 2014 came with a card in the operator's manual that the vehicle was not rated for slide in campers. Oddly, I don't remember getting one for my 2019.yea, too close for comfort....
