F150 and 2400 BH scale numbers, now what?

[The_Duke]

Went to CAT scale today (ap works great) for the first time, here is what I got.

F150 By Itself
Steering Axle - 3260 lb
Drive Axle - 2600 lb

F150 and Trailer (No WDH)
Steering Axle - 2980 lb
Drive Axle - 3620 lb
Trailer Axle - 6060 lb

F150 and Trailer w/WDH
Steering Axle - 3120 lb
Drive Axle - 3380 lb
Trailer Axle - 6160 lb

Is there a spreadsheet I can plug these number in? Is tongue weight (Trailer weight - Truck weight) 6500 - 5860 = 640 lbs? Seems like I'm tongue light and it tows like it.

I downloaded a spreadsheet. Try a search on the forum and you'll find it.

Tongue weight is truck axles hitched (2980+3620) minus truck axles (3260+2600) ... so 740.

Total trailer is 6600+740 ... so 7340.

You're just under 10% on the tongue - so a bit light. Is the trailer loaded for camping? If the trailer isn't loaded, I'd load for camping and see if/how that changes weights.

Your WDH is returning 140 (50%) to the front wheels and moving 100 to the trailer axles. Seems like a good start but, again, you'll want to make sure loaded as would be for "normal" trips.

I weighed after a camping weekend. So certainly not as heavy as when we left (tanks were mostly empty, perhaps 3 gallons in each) but not too far off.
