Default GCWR or "Am I overloaded?"

I have a 1992 Dodge Ram 250 Diesel 2wd with a 3.5 rearend and 4 speed auto trans.
MY GVWR is 8510, GAWR front is 4000 and GAWR rear is 5450
I have a 5th wheel hitch for towing

I tow a 30' "Kit" 5th wheel with GVWR of 7145

Please tell me what is my GCWR? Gross combined weight of truck and trailer.
Am I over the limit or under?

Bob

Default RE: GCWR or "Am I overloaded?"

The GVWR is the Gross vehicle weight rating for the truck and the GVWR for the trailer. You need to look at the dry weight on the trailer and then compare that to the GVWR on your truck. I have a 1993 D250 and I pull a 38'11" fifth wheel. You should be OK
