Total payload

I would say you are over the payload max. of your truck. My 2017 27.5 RLTS loaded has a pin weight of 1800 lbs and a total payload of 2400 lbs. My 2016 chev. 2500 has a yellow sticker over 2700 lbs.

[QUOTE=Mopar_Earl;802821]What are the scale weights? My 293RKDS has 2650 on the pin fully ready to go. The 1983 you posted seems way low for a real world number.

I replaced my junker with a fantastic fan! 2017 27.5 RLTS- It was built in 2016. Not worth hauling it 120 miles and waiting weeks for dealer to replace.
