Tisha, if I might make a suggestion. There is a CAT scale at Love's truck stop at exit 62, I-10 just west of you. BEFORE you hook up for your trip, fuel up and drive on over and weigh your pickup. Just like rhagfo and CWS said, it is very easy. Pull onto the scale and bring your front wheels to the speaker. The scale is built in three sections. Your front tires should be on the front section and your back tires on the middle section. You can push the button on the speaker and the attendant inside will handle everything you need to know.
When you finally do hook up to go camping you can return to the scales, give the attendant $2.00 and weight again. This way you don't have to unhook and you can get back to us with the results. I don't believe most members are telling you NOT to tow over your limit, just that you should be aware of how far over you are so YOU can make the decision to tow overweight or to buy a larger truck.
