Fully loaded truck and trailer at the CAT scale, my trailer had a weight of 15,160lbs. The weight of the trailer on the back of my truck was 3,520lbs. My truck's factory max payload weight rating is 3182lbs. So I'm over by 338lbs. on my rear axle. Bought the truck before the trailer. Am I worried....no. My truck's max gooseneck tow rating is 18,500, so I know my brakes are up to the task of stopping my 15,160lb trailer.

Out of curiosity, have you weighed the truck without the trailer? Are your calculations based upon published ratings or actual weights?
