This is to answer shamrockthecasbah I cannot find the weight ticket to the truck by itself I had three weight tickets these just happen to be the ones I have in my photos on my phone that I uploaded..
However to answer your question yes the first picture of the weight ticket is of the fifth wheel by itself and it did throw me for a loop as to how the axle weights did change when connected to the truck.. this also changes based on how nose high the fifth wheel is so if i want the pin weight lighter I drop are on the airbags. Then the front axle on the trailer does what it is suppose to do.
I do know the weight of the truck with my wife and myself in it, it is 6680 ohh and hitch.. plus all upgrades the truck has.. suspension, wheels and audio..
The truck was purchased from The dealer New with the lift Kit and wheels only thing I’ve changed is upgraded stereo system and RCD BILSTEIN 5100 Shocks specific to the 6” lift because I did not like the blocks on the struts.. I added the air lift 5000 wireless airbags but I don’t add more than 30-45 psi based on road conditions.. the truck is 4x4 as well and it is the 5.7 with a 430 rear end hence my fuel crisis.. from missisissippi to New Mexico is definitely south and for aspirated engines that’s good news. However as you get closer to west Texas let’s say kerrville and Sonora oh also the Guadalupe mountains elevation changes and I do take it easy on the trucks speed usually 60mph in 4th gear on the climb. Not because of power loss but fuel stations tend to be a bit further apart. I haven’t been greater than 7% up and down because I just haven’t encountered greater yet.
As I have learned from the TRD specialists, the axle weight rating is put in place by the manufacturer as equipped meaning tires brakes and suspension for handling load carrying and stopping. Hub Bearings are very important to monitor.
The tires I have are definitely load range E and Kevlar armored sidewalls. The additional weight over the axles is split onto two hubs pretty much evenly. So as their TRD specialists explained to me the tundra was equipped with oversized bearings inner and outer.
The one thing I am going to have scheduled after the holidays is the rear end servicing. The truck has 56000 miles now and about 8-9000 towing. They did tell me if I tow heavy and long that it is recommended at 50k miles. On a side note I’m still on the original brakes and rotors.. still with over 70percent left.
As I have owned this rig for now three years, I am destined to say it’s dialed in and I enjoy her a lot.
I have read other posts where some bigger trucks encounter porpoising and chucking.. I get nothing of that nature.. I too have towed in some strong wind currents through El Paso Texas in 100 degree weather. Maybe I didn’t get a Friday built truck and fiver.
I have bumped into many rvers that have tundras and I get the question how does it handle, I say no different than when I pull my 24” center console boat. They then tell me latter they feel like they made a financial mistake getting the smaller fifth wheel of 32’ when the 34’ had everything they wanted..
I love input and people’s recommendations but this works for me and I love it when I get to my campsite and back in and unhook, press buttons and boom start the grill and plug in the fire stick..
