My sticker in my door says load of 1421 pounds. The truck empty weighs 5200 pounds. That means my max is 6621. I have a weight on the truck with the camper and it ready for a weekend of 6700 pounds. That means I am 79 pounds over weight before I get in. I have D rated tires and Firestone air bags. The Service manager for Toyota told me that the rating for my truck was with P rated tires. Just that alone increases the amount that the truck is rated for but is not listed. He said I was fine with the truck and camper. I haven't heard back from him about the bike.Advmoto18 said:What is the GVWR posted on the driver's door jam?
My neighbor's 2004 Access Cab Tundra is placarded at 6200#. I would expect your truck to weigh more since it is the crew cab thereby reducing payload.
His reciever's tongue weight is listed as 500#. A center of mass 12" aft of the receiver would limit tongue wieght to 330#. Your motorcycle and a VersaHaul with ramp is 362# and the center of mass is slightly more than 12" aft of the end of the receiver.
Using my neighbor's placard (likely conservative for your truck), I have your "ready for camping weight" 500# over placarded weight. Add in the motorcycle and VersaHaul (280#/82#), I have you 862# over placard weight of 6200#. Nearly 14% over the placard weight of an access cab.
While it is nice to weigh your truck and know the numbers, be mindful that the placard is controlling unless you have your operating weights certified (not the same as having your truck weighed on "certified" scales). However, manufacturer specifications trump all for judication.
IMHO, use the trailer!
Please read my post that said I am doing this test for guys that want to know the numbers. I HAVE A TRAILER!!!!
