Thanks! Ended up getting it in Ashland. Got an incredible deal and the whole experience was very good.

Truck Empty 9500
Truck weight with TH 13020
Truck with trailer 25750


So in summary:

Pin weight fully loaded 3500
Pin advertised dry wt. 3100
Trailer weight fully loaded 16200
Trailer advertised dry wt. 13500

Thanks for sharing. Will post mine up Friday

Went to the scales today:

Truck unhitched and loaded up

Drive 3480
Steer 5220
Total 8700

Truck and Rig Hooked up ready to camp (no toys in the rear), about 1/3 full of water

Drive 6900
Steer 5260
Total 12160

Trailer Axle 11200

GCW = 23,360

So, it looks like I have a pin weight of about 3295 (accounting for 125lb hitch in the bed), and Toy Hauler weight of 14535.

Truck GVWR is 12400, Max tow rating is 16,830, GCWR of truck is 25,000. RAWR is 7000, so I am close there, tires are rated at 3620 each, so couple hundred lbs under that.

1500lbs atv's (max) in the bed will lighten up the pin a couple hundred lbs and still keep me under GCWR and Max Tow...so, it appears I am close to some numbers, but I am under all of them. That being said, I did add Timbrens and they made a big difference. Better ride and only sags about 3 inches when hitched up now (vs 5 without). I was close on my estimates, and it appears the brochure pin weights for my Fuzion was pretty close (3005 in brochure for 345 Chrome). Will see how it goes with some upcoming trips, but I can see the merits of a Dually for sure.

All that stuff makes my head spin. The GVWR is11500. 5600 frt and 7050 rear GAWR. Payload not to exceed 3898. Trailer pin says 3030lbs empty but its not at my house to verify.

Never been across scales but plan to.

I do know when I hook up it does not touch the factory over load springs . To me that is an accurate method to determine it is within design limits. It handles and stops a lot better than the smaller and lighter 301 Fuzion TT I had previous.

I have the 2015 311 Impact pin weight 2770 pushing the limit for my 2012 Duramax. I bought the fuszion Impact 311 Impactt. With 110 gal of water 70 fuel, Harley and tools and enough stuff for 5 days camping. I stopped at the first cat scale Petrol and weighed . My GVW RR is 6000 door sticker cat scale 6020 Lbs. cat scale GVW towing was 21500 My Duramax 2500 24000. I read where the new Dodges Cummings Is equal with the if not better then the Duramax. Friday I'm going on another trip with 40 gal water and the same load may be heaver in the garage an will stop at the cat scale again. Installed air bags that will 40 lbs to the truck.

As I expected the second trip with less water brought my gvrr under 60 lbs under door sticker gvrr.
