In my experience, they’re usually not crowded. There are 2 of them right by my house, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a truck on them.
If you download the Cat app; I think it’s called Weigh My Truck or something, you can communicate with the scale and pay. You’ll get an email with a digital weight ticket. Alternatively, you pull up, press a button and the weigh master will come over the intercom and ask for things like your company and trailer number. They seem to have to have something to put on the ticket. I always just make something up like DieselDork Co. And trailer #1.
It’s kinda weird the first time, but also quite exciting to get that weight ticket.
I believe it’s like $12.50 for the first weight and $2.00 for the second.

Thanks for posting that window sticker! I searched for it, but was unable to get fords site to bring it up. I forgot that a lot of times dealer listings would have them. I’d found it on auto trader.
I’ve also found some leftover new 2019’s. Really focusing on f-350’s, but not ruling out an F-250. Although I’m not brand loyal, I have had good luck with Ram’s. Research is showing me though that that the F-250 Super Duty’s have over 3k in payload, vs the Ram which has just over 2k. That’s impossible to ignore. No way I could sensibly buy a Ram if I went 3/4 ton.

If you want a half ton, a HDPP 150 would handle that all day and night. 2500lb payload, 11,400 max trailer, 17,200 combined. 1 ton is great and all, but $$, insurance, registrations etc all add up. Oh and 22 mpg when not towing....

Same 2500RL 2018 but 2014 RAM 1500
Diesel , i have same rig but 2014 1500 5.7 hemi ram Lone star 8 speed trans, 3.92 I added air bags in the rear coils gave me 1000lbs extra on rear. I went across scale 12280 empty tanks all the way around ready for camping the way i travel. water is heavy in those tanks at 8.3 lbs per gallon, multiply that out if you have to have water or grey for that matter take some out 31.5 gallons per side you be at your setup max. But i try to always have some buffer and not at max or riding the edge. Happy scales until i buy a new truck!!!

If it hasn’t been said before, take a look at the actual tow ratings of the different trucks. I know for my truck, the 3/4 is rated higher than the 1 ton because the 1 ton weighs more. The only difference between the 2 is springs. Same axles, brakes, etc. I
had planned on bags anyway so there was zero reason for me to get a 1 ton. Also, the 3/4 ton rides better.

Welcome to the two truck club. Check out dodge death rattle. It's a real thing and my son has putnaboutn1500 in to solve the issue in his 3500 dodge ram. I started with a 1500 Chevy and am now in a 2500 chevy diesel and it was absolutely the best decision made. Got a 3000 imagine and you are never going to get great mileage , moving up is the thing to do. Bite the bullet and move on.

I had a similar experience a couple of years ago, pulling a non-GD 33-foot fifth-wheel with an F250 diesel. After several years, I finally weighed it (the CAT scale app is awesome), and I was WAAAY over useful load. Looked at the options, and finally went with a used F350 dually diesel. My mileage is 11-12 mpg, but the larger tank is nice. I use the dually as my daily driver and don't really have a problem. I wanted the 3.55 rear end, but almost all the used trucks I saw had a 3.73, so that's want I finally went with. In town mileage is worse than the F250, but on the road with our current rig (GD 337RLS), I don't notice much change. I attribute that to the F350 not downshifting as much on hills, because of the 3.73 rear axle.

I have a 2020 2500RL and the tongue weight from GD is not accurate, I hit the scales with my unit empty straight from the dealer and my tongue weight was around 800lbs. Had a GMC 1500 and I maxed out quickly on the Payload. Traded the 1500 for F250, it was a great decision.
