Good Day Folks.
Just found this site and had a couple of ?'s about weights, towing?
Had a couple people say I'm ok and some say not.Dont want to be busted.The dealer I bought the trailer from says I'm ok to load up to 19600#'s on the trailer,and my truck should be legal,seems a lot to me but thats why I'm here to talk to the experts.
Heres my situation.
2005 Chevy 2500 HD crewcab GVWR 9200(fr.GAWR 4670#)(rear GAWR 6084#)
( Book says Max. trailer weight 12000# and GCWR 22000#)
(King Pin weight should be 15 to 25% of trailer weight up to 3000#)
Trailer= 30' (3x7000#) Axle GooseNeck weighs(5400#)
Machine,Attachments,Tidy Tank. Misc.Gear (14000#)
1. How much weight can I load on the above trailer and tow with my truck legally?
2. How much weight can the trailer tow?
3. Would i need to go to a GMC 4500/5500?
Any help would be greatly app.
Thanks Dave.
