I'm trying to calculate for front and rear axle weight maximums, but can't really do so unless I know the front and rear weight distribution, or axle weights when empty. I have the curb weight from the manual, but don't know how it's distributed front and rear. Does anyone know?

 

Doesn't seem to be published.

Head over to one of those places that sells bulk rock by the pound. They weigh your truck on the way in and weigh you on the way out to figure out how much stone you picked up. Slip the scale lady $50 and tell her what you're trying to do.

 

see if this works for you. It's a link to a pdf file to open with what you might be looking for

Neither of those give front/rear weight distribution.

I like to think he took my advice and hit it off with the rock scale lady and they're off on some whirlwind romance. Too deep in sweet love to remember to post a follow up.

 

I don't know that that would get you there since you weigh the total tare in every yard I've been through, so don't get the front / rear thing, but you're on the right track.

Back a few years, I brought a 59 Power Wagon into the state, and to register it, it had to be weighed at an authorized DMV weigh station. The place I went to had 4 transducer scales; one for each tire. Added each pair for an unloaded axle weight. That, and a little ciphering, might be what's needed here.

 

I just figured, find the center of the truck, put the front half on the scale then the back half.

 

I too share the hope that rock lady and the OP experienced something poetic.

another way might be to take a peek at the door sticker.




GAWR front and rear are 1530kg and 1900kg respectively.

not sure if that’s what is in question.

 

I read it as distribution per axle and not maximum weight for each axle. Sports car stuff.



Op had best at least make up a rock lady story now if it didn't really happen. Would be too much of a let down with all thos build-up.

 

This will they won’t they business has become too much to bear.
I can’t think straight. Your idea seems more on point.
