Well, here's what I have. A Silverado 3500 4x4 with single rear wheels, 8.1 L gas engine and Allison trans. The GAWR on the rear axle is 6500 lbs. The tires are 265/75R16 load range E rated for 3415 lbs single at 80 PSI cold. The GVWR for the truck is 9900 lbs, and I'm guessing that the truck weighs about 6500 lbs with 3000 lbs of that on the rear axle. The towing capacity is 15,000 lbs on a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch. The truck is registered for 9900 lbs, and the hitch is rated for 40,000 lbs! I'm guessing that I could put 3000 lbs on the tongue without overloading the truck. The trailer is a 7 ton gooseneck with a 24 ft flat deck (no dovetail) and weighs around 4500 lbs. It is registered for 14,000 lbs. The axles are 7000 lbs rated, and the tires are 235/85R16 Load range G rated for 3750 lbs at 110 PSI cold. I have a CDL-A, but am not DOT registered as the GCWR is under 25,000 lbs. I assume that I am legal to load 12,500 lbs with the proper weight distribution on the trailer based on 3000 lbs on the hitch and 14,000 lbs on the trailer wheels. I welcome any comments about my assumptions!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
