Show me your 38x11.5 tires

You do.

My XLT-trim gas engine Tremor is fairly light for a Super Duty Tremor w/ an as-built curb weight of just 7,054 lbs.

My RV trailer can never weigh more than 6600 lbs which is barely over just one-third of my truck's tow capacity rating of 18,200 lbs.

My Recon Grappler 37 X 11.5 X 17 is a D Load Range tire and I keep +/-450 lbs in the truck bed pretty much all year. With 750 lbs trailer tongue weight I'm almost using all of my tires' load rating as far as RAWR is concerned.

Next trip w/ the trailer I've gotta run it across a CAT scale for the real numbers.

Cheers!

Once you set up an acct it is a breeze to get the real weights.

@Apples Your XLT is indeed light...

For reference,
Lariat Trim, 7.3L Tremor w/ Gooseneck Prep, OEM bedliner, Dual Battery, Dual Alt, power steps, Pro Power, and few little things like block heater and upfitters
As-Built Curb Weight is 7562 lbs.

That's the plan! That's a cool deal when the numbers just appear on your phone. If I need a certificate for any reason, then I go to their desk.

The 7,054 includes dual alts, dual batts, block heater, upfitters, remote start. That's it. But SINCE THEN (hahaha) I've added some weight beyond what I keep in the truck bed. Carli front bar is a bit heavier than the stocker, the FullTravelBags another 40-45 lbs... And I'll keep adding: I have a front receiver hitch, engine/trans/catalysts skid plate (Talons Garage) and miles of heavy copper cable to get winch power to both front and rear receivers (with a branch off that for 40A aux circuit). Maybe a frame mount dual compressor, small tank... I have a box w/a rudimentary camp kitchen, camp rigging to go in there too.

As it sits right now w/ the bed slide in it and my recovery gear (jack, traction boards, tow straps, tree straps, 30' 3/8" tow chain, Hi Lift, Hi Lift winch kit, 1" X 30' kinetic rope, a brace of soft shackles, snatch rings, winch line extension, 2 cases .5 liter bottled water, 5 gals gasoline in a metal jerry can plus it's steel mount, tools, table, bench, chair, coffee kit, blankets and a few other useful trinkets I bet I'm at 7650 lbs easy.

It was nice to start w/ a fairly light truck, though! :ROFLMAO:
