I'm guessing that the weight as has been said of the B&W companion is about right, 75# for the upper and around 125# for the base. I had no issues with the top part lifting it off and I was more than able to pull the base straight up the 6" to get the lower pin our of the bed.
So without any other items I'm going to be close to 8,600# with full fuel on the RAM.
It's going to be late winter or early spring before I get a CAT scale weight slip, but I will do the full up and then unhooked for the truck alone, why not...
I do appreciate all the input and discussions. I'm learning a LOT on this forum, thanks and have a great weekend...

You might squeeze within numbers depending on how the TH is loaded. Will be looking for weights in the spring.

I have never seen any RV manufacturers post their 5ers or TT with the recommendation TV. Except recently they try to market some as 1500 truck compatable. But even most of those you are best suited towing with a 250/2500.
The salespeople will try to convince you into what they need to sell you. Lol
Some decent salespeople will steer you good.
Just have to research before you buy....overkill your TV or buy a different RV. If you got a TV already, you would buy a well within spec RV.
You got what you got now...go weigh your setup

4300# for a 2012 is not bad at all. However the newer you go payload magically increases. My 2019 F350 diesel dually 4x4 Lariat has a payload of 5598 on the sticker. Truck and trailer combined scaled at 25,220 loaded for 3 month snowbird trip. Have not weighed the truck separately yet. No rush as I know I'm under all numbers.

Dan, you are over thinking this thing.
You have a one ton dually and you will do just fine. At some point you can look at a newer truck if you want but you'll be fine at this point...

I agree load it up drive over cat scale get your weigh and drive off you will have 4 weighs on the yellow sheet . With my tv the drive axle is documented on the white sticker driver door jam and if the pin weight from the toyhuler comes in under which will be the drive axle weight shown on the certified yellow cat sheet . I was reading IRV2 toyhualer weights forum a guy with big Razer in the garage would take 900 lbs of the pin weight and add 2 k to the trailer axles . I assume he did the load and unloaded the garage.
