Just Picked 3711FR plus Weight
Here are my cat scales weights.

Truck not hooked to 5er F350 1 Ton Diesel
Steer Axles 4740
Rear Axles 3480
GVWR 11500
Payload 3744
RAWR 7000

Cat Sales
Steering Axles 4880
Rear Axles 6460
Trailer Axles 10980
Total 22320

Stats
Camper Weights 14,100
Truck with 5er hitched 11340
Pin Weight 3120
Pin Percentage 22.1

5er Dry weights
Pin Dry 2790
Total Dry 13200

Loaded for a weekend trip. The front living room and front storage was loaded with every thing in it that we would take camping. The bedroom and the food pantry including the fridge are aft of the front axles so those shouldn't increase pin weights by adding weight.

Yep sure is going to earn it's keep and I'm sure glad it's diesel. It would busted my GVWR if was front bedroom. Getting 70% of the kitchen storage, the bathroom and the bedroom behind or over axles made the difference.

Interesting numbers. We just had a guy come into the dealership where I'm working looking to buy a truck to tow the new 5er he was looking to buy. The RV dealership told him he only needed a 3/4 ton truck. Luckily the salesman he was working with asked me to look at his numbers. He was buying a 40' Jayco Pinnacle. In just a couple minutes we verified dry pin weight, estimated loaded pin weight, and after checking door stickers determined he needed a 350 DRW. Probably could have gotten away with a SRW if he didn't want a Platinum.

This would be a great tool for you to use and the salesman also.

Congrats on the new unit.


The Cougar 3711FR and the Cougar 326RDS are on our radar as a replacement for the VR-1. Im looking forward to any reviews on the 3711FR.
