How much can I haul?

Id say 29,950 gvw in parenthesis is pounds. Just a guess though.

 

Vehicle is rated for 25950, vehicle weighs 11770 (is my guess on the info given) so 25950-11770=14180, your best bet is to weigh it empty with the tanks full of fuel to figure out exactly how much you can put in the box, as I'm 90 percent sure 25950 is the max the vehicle is rated for, but not one hundred percent sure if that's the actual empty weight

 

I think u r right. If u are going to load it to the very last pound make sure u or whoever is drivng is in there when it is weighed.

 

Yea, I'm right, 25950 is the max weight of the vehicle with a load in the box, gcw is 37427, and that's the max allowable weight if you are towing a trailer, plus passengers and cargo

 

Nope, very wrong. The capacity of the vehicle plus it's load (gross weight) is 25,950 lbs.
The 11,770 figure is the kilograms,, metric equivalent of 25,950 lbs.

What he can haul is 25,950 lbs MINUS the actual weight of his empty truck.
The OP needs to know what his truck weighs empty.

Example: GVWR = 25,950 lbs
OP's empty box truck weighs 10,000 lbs (example)
The maximum load he can haul would be 15,950 lbs, PROVIDED it is loaded correctly and he does not exceed either of his individual axle weight ratings.

 

If you look off to the right pounds are in parenthesis (). The other numbers are kilograms.

25,950 lbs is your max weight loaded. What you do when you get a truck for the first time is fill the tank(s) and go find yourself a Catscale at a truck stop and get your empty weight with you in the truck. Only then you will know how much weight you can haul when you subtract that weight from 25,950.

That Catscale ticket will give you a front and rear axle weight when in the future you go back for a loaded weight. Never exceed 11,000 lbs on the front axle and 19,000 lbs on the rear axle when loaded. Double check your tire weight ratings to make sure they can handle that max weight. They should but being a used truck someone might of put cheaper tires on it.

You control your axle weights by how you load a truck. If you have extremely heavy pallets instead of cramming them in side by side up front, load them in a single file or you'll catch on depending on pallet count. You might start with a single, double, double, single, etc. You start with a single in them cases to compensate for engine and cab weight. It'll take some practice to get to know your truck and how to load it.

Keep that empty weight ticket in your glovebox until you figure things out.

 

Hey I was almost right, but yea you are right on it being kg, I'm wrong there lol

 

Almost right? Your post self-admittedly claimed 2 separate guesses.
But I'm glad you switched from your past job as a nuclear detonator assembler. JK!

 

Just keep loading till the tires pop. Then unload the last pallet and you'll be good to go once you replace the tires. Got that info from a guy at the truckstop lunch counter so you know it's good advice.
