LMFAO.................. Time for a new avi Ken I have never seen one there

 

[ferniesnow]

You save on no truck box and your also probably feeding the weigh scale guys garlic shrimp to boot!

hahahaha……….but with an 8' box extended cab and 4x4 the GVW is higher at 9200 lbs.

The scale guys like to see me coming as I always have something for them (garlic shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, BBQ lobster drenched in butter, etc.) and one has to pay the piper!

 

[ferniesnow]

I nearly forgot………..those Doos are sooooo light!!!

 

[ferniesnow]

Dodge, chevy, or gmc?

Sent while not working too hard

That would be a GMC Sierra 4x4 extended cab with an 8' box.

 

[Trashy]

Sooooo................ This so called "scale" That I have never seen, is a guy supposed to stop there, if it is there???

P.S. Sorry to hijack your 1500 thread

My crew cab tundra is good for 1100lbs and it an 04 so its not a big as the newer ones.

Good to know I'm not far off of a domestic half ton.

The new scalehouse is about 28-30 km West of Golden on the way to Revy, about 1 or 2 kms East of the Donald bridge. Highway divides and the scales are in the middle so they can catch you both ways. The only time you have to pull in there with a passenger vehicle is if they chase you down and drag you in there.

My superduty does well it has 10000 gvw truck weight 7800 i am max with 2 quad and sled deck full of fuel 140 l and 3 people and my holiday trailer i will weigh it again with 2 sleds and full of gear i don't there will a problem thats for sure

 

[medler]

My 08 2500 HD CC with a 6.0L weighed 6200 empty..i find it weird a 1/2 ton can weigh dam near the same ..

 

[byronkentgraham]

So what you're saying is Arff and Rzrgade are going to need 4500's to haul their 850 popos around?

 

[250mark1]

Got a 2011 2500 mega cab works just fine with two sleds and gear.

No doubt that the truck can handle it but from a legal stand point you would be righ on the edge of the legal payload
(max payload on diesel automatic is only 1860lbs)

 

[the_real_wild1]

No need to worry about the scales if you are not a commercial vehicle

Ya I have all the decals off of it and I have airbags! Never no it wasn't a 3500

Not so, they can still have road blocks or roving units and can/will pull you over and check your weight. If your in an accident and your overweight you are at fault.

 

[ferniesnow]

That's true except for the occasional road check by the DOT and their portable scales.

 

[Bisch]

My F450 weighs 8700lbs. But I can put 5800lbs of payload in it.

 

[the_real_wild1]

Yes but we weren't talking about portable scales. We are talking about the ones on the side of the road.

 

[ferniesnow]

Yes but we weren't talking about portable scales. We are talking about the ones on the side of the road.

I agree that commercial vehicles are required to stop but a lot don't (I'm not talking about the rigs and semi's). I have stopped at many of those and checked the weight and I am well within limits.

It is the guy with the 1/2 ton that the DOT will get at the portable scales.
