Ugh...Two timers club.
Weighed my rig and was 600 lbs over. Wished I had been more savvy when I got into camping. Live, Learn and sometimes pay the cost. Overkill, but went with a 2019 Platinum F350 6.7 4x4 LB DRW.

I really hope you had other reasons to get a new truck besides the measly little 600lbs over weight? Really...

Hey AZ,
Dunno what you had before, and curious to hear what TV prompted such a big move ??
I've got a F-250 wt a GCWR of 20K. I've towed two different 5rs all over the US totaling 25, 000 miles in all.
First trip CAT scales had me at 19,500...BUT I was over the trucks GVWR by 900 lbs !!!
I was under weight on both front and rear axle ratings, though by couple of hundred lbs.
For years I read that Ford under-rates their actual rated capacity to include a 10 +% safety factor.
That means almost 1,000 lbs to play with.
I always felt the axle ratings were the most important re actual weight GVW capacities, anyway.
My TV is a well-maintained 2001 7.3 PSD and its still going strong.
I travel much lighter now wt my 2017 307 MKS with a hitch weight of 1600 lbs. and a UVW of 9,872 lbs.
