How Much Do You Weigh? (Not a weight loss thread)

[Scooter G]

On the way to the lake last Friday, stopped to fuel up, down 35 gallons of 65. Love the station because they have dedicated stall for big rigs and trailers. I can tap the boat with Non-Ethanol, and catch the Super Duty with Diesel at the same time, although I try not to do that due to sticker shock $.
The place just put in 3 new in-line scales. Went inside to inquire, and everyone engaged on what their best guess was on weight between boat and rig. They were able to catch separately the front and rear axles of the truck, and the tandem axles of the boat trailer. When the weight came in, none of us were close. The Gal said, "Well sheesh, you weigh as much as a semi", lol.
I'll post a picture of the ticket, but would love to hear some feedback of where you think it came in at, all in truck and trailer, both with full tanks, and 2 passengers...
Closest guess gets a Silver Cove Marine hoody, from Jeff. Ha, just kidding, I'm still waiting on mine. Jeff, Jeff...

Hmmm. Kinda hard not knowing more about the pickup. That said, I'm in at 18,100 lbs.

Indeed, more details: '19 Ford SuperDuty Diesel F-250

I really do not know, but I'd guess my setup would be around 17-19k lbs??? 2020 Silverado 2500 HD, diesel, 4wd, crew cab and a 2021 G23 Paragon with a triple axle trailer.

Your guesses were closer than mine. I was pretty sure where the boat with trailer came in at, but I was way off on what the truck weighed.
I think the truck is grabbing some of the tongue weight, I might drop just the boat on the scales next time to see what it comes in at solo.
I read somewhere that these trailers are rated at 8400lbs, I'm assuming that means weight on the trailer. I'll have to check the trailer sticker tag to see if that holds true.



There are a few other good threads out there on weight:

It sounds like quite the adventure! It must have been interesting to weigh your setup and see just how heavy it really is. Those new in-line scales are pretty handy for checking the weight distribution between the axles. My guess for the total weight of the truck and trailer, both with full tanks and two passengers, would be around 18,000 pounds. Looking forward to seeing the actual numbers when you post the ticket. And hey, maybe Jeff will surprise us all with those hoodies someday!
