2021 385GK Weight
Just in case anybody out there is wondering (as I was before we took delivery), I thought I'd post my truck/trailer weights recently measured at the scale.
Truck
2018 F-350 SRW Platinum crew cab 4x4
Hitch, 3/4 tank of fuel, 3/4 full 20lb propane tank, myself, wife and 15 year old daughter in cab
Front Axle 4,982lbs
Rear Axle 7,782lbs
Truck Total 12,764lbs. Truck is rated for 11,500lb GVW. So over by 1,264lbs.
Trailer has 4 Interstate GC2 6V batteries and 2 2000W Yamaha generators in front compartment, no water in the tanks, full 30lb propane bottles and other than clothes, bbq and other usual camping gear (chairs, patio mat, etc.).
Trailer Axles 12,632lbs
Although the truck towed the 3 mountain passes that we had to cross each way to the lake we camped at just fine, in the back of my mind I was thinking about liabilities and the chance of denied insurance if something was to ever happen. Came home, emptied out the truck and traded it on a 2019 Ram 3500 Limited dually. First tow with it will be the middle of next week to the same lake so looking forward to being able to compare the experiences.2019 Ram 3500 Dually Limited
2018 F-350 Platinum - SOLD

Awesome, this is so good to hear, I to worry about the same thing so I traded my 2017 2500 CTD for a new 2018 3500 CTD ram.
I don't think that I would need to upgrade to a Dually the wife and I have been looking at the 310gk and if all goes well we will be getting it but the truck I have will do.
Congrats! Pics would be nice.
