We weigh it most every year at a rally. We have this problem... The truck loaded and ready to tow weighs @ 9,000 lbs .The 3400 has a GVWR of 15,500lbs. That equals 24,715 lbs if at max. Our truck is rated at 23,500lbs so we need to keep below that, Not much we can throw out of the truck besides Helen (we did take out @200 lbs of..junk) We tossed a lot of stuff from the 3400 including over 150lbs of tools.At the last weigh we were 9,000lbs truck ready to tow and 3400 13,800lbs = 22,800.
Everything within specs..... It is a struggle but a necessary one.
