A good point of course.. Ours stays well outfitted, we don't add much more than150 lbs in it to go. We outfit out trailers so as to throw in a couple of clothes bags and maybe food and go. Chairs, tv, tables, bed stuff, towels, water, tools, soaps, TP, hoses, etc - all there and ready to roll. food could just as easy be in the truck. When we pack food for a race, two ice chests and ice are about 60 lbs. Checking the tank today, the RV was missing maybe 150 lbs of water. So we'd be around 5700 fully loaded.
Now the race trailer -lol- that has 5360 lbs of equipment that goes in before roll out.
All the numbers I post are from the scales or derived from scale readings, unless noted otherwise. The 11,200 is from Fords towing guide. I don't guess. Steer axle 2880, drive axle 3000, trailer axle 4620. Truck is 5120, fuel+passengers.
As for the new truck, loaded we are 800 lbs under the GAWR for the rear axle. So plenty good to go. That's with fuel and both normal passengers, and all the stuff in the trailer.
