You want to try keep your weight under 5400lbs anyway, because trust me, much more than that, and you won't be able to go up hills at all. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


I weighted myself yesterday at 4200lbs with gas tank almost full, pickup box, spare tire, 2 people (300lbs) and stuff (100lbs) in the truck yesterday, so that should work out to about 3800lbs, box included, minus 2 people & stuff.

I still haven't call around junkyard to find out the actual pickup box weight...I'm assuming around 300lbs?

Let's say pickup bare-frame without box (3500lbs) + flatdeck (250lbs) + furnished camper (500lbs?) + people/dog (300lbs) + tools/gear (200lbs) + h20/gas/coolant (50lbs) + food (50lbs) = 4850lbs

I will try my best to keep the gross weight below 5000lb. It does seem do-able! Wish me luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
