    Hi all,
    Does anyone know the empty weight by axel for a stock 2017 DCSB TRD-o/r with 6MT? (Manual says empty weight is 4,445 LBs, but I would like to break it down by axel)

    Trying to figure out how much I was towing last week... Pulled a small, 1 axel 5x8" U-haul; stated empty weight of the trailer is 900 LBs.

    I drove across a CAT truck scale; it gave me three numbers:

    - Steer axel: 2,600 LBs
    - Drive axel: 4,680 LBs (Looks like this is the combined weight of my rear wheels, plus the trailer.
    - Combined weight: 7,280 LBs

    (Wish I could have driven over again and gotten a rear wheel / trailer split, but time did not permit)

    Quick math says 2,835 LBs net load (Including the trailer). Trying to figure out how much weight was on each axel.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Weigh it again without the trailer. This way you'll know the true empty weight of the truck.
    From that you can determine the total weight of the trailer & its cargo.
    You'll probably find a slight bit more weight on the front axle without the tongue load of the trailer.
