New trailer rig, Obi Dweller 13

Cross post after getting it loaded up and scaled.

Trailer loaded with all my camping stuff; linen, towels, grill, generator, full propane full water (both tanks), cooking stuff, chairs etc. everything but food and my bag of clothes.

Truck full of fuel ready for the road with all my recovery gear etc.

Truck is 5420

Trailer 5700

Truck 5420 - gcvwr truck and trailer 11120 = 5700 trailer
Truck 5420 - front axle 2620 - rear axle - 3480 = 680 tongue weight
Trailer 5700 - trailer scale 5020 = 680 tongue verified.

Truck capacity;
Front awr 3100
Rear awr 3750
Tow capacity 7650
Tongue weight 765
Gvwr 6250
Gcvwr 12800

Trailer gvwr 5732

My tongue may be heavier than most with a 75 pound generator and 2x 33pound propane bottles, but I don’t carry a ton of tools etc in the front bin.

I suspect most don’t know or realize there actual tongue weight (especially on light trucks), and gvwr, payload.

My Jeep is a Max Tow with the highest payload of the automatics, lifted, steel bumpers, winch, etc.

As a general rule I won’t travel with the rear tank full so that’s apx -250 pounds off the trailer.

So lots of numbers, long story short I’m under all capacity measures.
Getting there on payload and tongue but still under tongue by -11%.

Truck drives well and handles well!

Look for the OBI Dweller FB group, all the information you'd ever need is there. I just picked up the 17" Blackstone griddle on Prime Days because, as you will find out, the stock burner setup is garbage. Enjoy the trailer.

Ya I already have a second grill and griddle top loaded up.
