Hi picked up my 2019 Jayco 27sgx on Friday. Need help and you guys experience if I’m within limits. I did the calculations according to you all recommendation to others members. Here’s my attached rv and truck stickers. 2019 f250 6.75 truck bed, wife dog and me weight is 410 lbs. carry wood etc in bed maybe total is 75lbs. I will attach photos. Appreciate all you guys do for us and the forum. Thanks

Sorry for the twisted photos.

I’m guessing on a couple of things, your truck is gas and the trailer is a fifth wheel? It looks like with a trailer GVWR of 9996 your pin weight will be around 2100 lbs. I think that leaves you with about 1000 lbs payload capacity. The numbers look good to me.

Congratulations on your new trailer!

Jim, you've been a member here for a long time. What if Danny, xrated, Logan and Rhagfo come on and all answer that you are over gross? You've been towing that Cougar which is basically a heavier RV for years. I also believe you are within spec's by a little, don't front-load the new RV (hard to keep your basement light) and don't run with much in the bed.
Think maybe you're asking this a day late and a dollar short?
And before I forget, congrat's on the new RV. I looked it up before starting this post and it is a very nice RV and also for a comfortable price!
