    No idea. The only thing I can think of is different weight scenarios.... truck unloaded only, truck loaded only, truck loaded + dry trailer, Truck loaded + loaded, wet trailer. I have no idea why one would need three weights on a certified scale if nothing has changed in your truck or trailer.

    Here's my first trip across a CAT scale.




    Here's my truck which includes: me (150lbs), wife(140 lbs) and small amount of gear. My 2023 TRD OR has a GVWR of 5600 lbs.



    Travel trailer is a Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser 19RBS and has a GVWR 4380 lbs. Truck and trailer combined should be GCVWR 9980 lbs. We are certainly under that.... we are light packers.

    Interesting, my 2020 OR DCLB front axle is rated for 3050lb, rear is the same as yours 3280lb.
    This was us over the scale… dog 80lb, wife 160lb, me 190lb, WDH and some tools. Front axle concerned me… I was stood leaning out by the front door jam yelling at the intercom so that may have skewed things.

    p.s. @rybern good job on keeping your front and rear axles under that 5,600lb GVWR

    Thanks Mark, I appreciate the encouragement, I still feel pretty new to all of this. I suppose a little luck was involved. I did spend a good bit of time setting my WDH to keep my truck pretty close to the factory rake. The tension from the WDH sets the entire truck down between 1/2" and 3/4".

    I too find it interesting how our front and rear axle weights are so different on the truck weights. It's true that you had extra 140lbs of live cargo(for the record.... most being a dog.;)) It may also have something to do with my truck being a Premium and the weight of the extras. In addition to the Blackstone & stand, 35lb tool bag, a few extra blocks, I also had a tote full of firewood what likely weighed 70 lbs in the bed. The long bed vs short bed likely has a little bit of impact on the front to rear differences we are seeing. Also, my back seat had very little.
