Puma 16 QBX cargo weight

Does anyone have info or pics of the axle and leaf springs used on the 2022 puma ultra light 16qbx? Wondering how much actual cargo it can hold based on axle, springs and tongue weight values

The amount of cargo a rig can hold is not determined by the weight rating on the axles or tongue (these are important but not how you determine what can be carried) You subtract the Mfg determined dry weight from the MVWR this will give you the carrying capacity. Keep in mind this amount includes things you add like batteries. best way to have a good figure to work with is scale rig empty.

I understand the formula to determine cargo but I want the axle and springs rating and the number of leafs! Cant find it online and need someone who actually owns one and has seen underneath.

For the information can't you just look at your rig? Did you actually read my post I did not say it wasn't important.

Like I said in the beginning, I'm looking for someone who actually HAS one, I don't otherwise I could have done that. Need an Owner to reply...

I don't guess I'm really understanding the question. Are you looking for a different CCC than the manufacturer provides in their specs?

Yes, I got all that info. Is it a 3500 lb axle? 3 or 4 leaf springs and what are they rated at? A pic would be nice of the axle rating tag. Thinking of getting one and just trying to put questions to rest. I guess the thread was misleading. If I could delete it I would star over.

The actual cargo it can hold is 756 lbs. Not sure why you think it is different than that.

Being a single axle TT with a 3880 lb GVWR, a UVW of 3124 lbs., and a 756 lb CCC, With a five lug wheel bolt pattern I would imagine it has a 3500 lb axle. The number of leafs in the springs is irrelevant. It's still a 3500 lb axle.
