Mornining all. Weighed the truck and 5'er today with the following results.

2011 F-350 CC SRW 4x4 Lariat Diesel and 2012 KZ Durango 2500 D355BH 5'er.

Truck Alone
Front Axle - 4,840lbs
Rear Axle - 3,388lbs
Total GVW - 8,228lbs (GVWR is 11,500lbs)

Truak and 5'er attached

Front Axle - 4,796lbs
Rear Axle - 5,676lbs
5'er Axles - 10,054lbs
Total Truck GVW - 10,472lbs (11,500 GVWR)
Total GCW - 20,526lbs (GCWR 23,000lbs if I recall)

Pin Weight - 2,244lbs (19%)
5'er Weight - 12,298lbs (GWVR 13,000lbs)

5'er is FULL, less some food and clothing, but not much room to spare before running into 5'er max GVWR.

Truck is 1,028lbs below GVWR (still need to add wife and 10yr old boy and dogs), but should be plenty of room.

All in all...I am very pleased with the numbers, and the combination rides and handles beautifully.

What is your Rear axle rating? Should be listed as GAWR.

Not quite full tank.... As for firewood. I typically don't haul any. Quite content to get gouged at the campground.

Outside of maybe a couple of bikes...that should be all.

WOW!!I think you got it!

11.500# GVWR for a SRW! Makes my 2004 Dodge SRW seem anemic. Darn. Have fun 5ing and travel safely, return home happy.
