This is not hard stuff Somewhere on your truck is a sticker or stickers with numbers on it on my ford it is on the drivers side door jam.

It says the GVW of the truck is 13,000 lbs.That is the max the truck fully loaded can weigh.
It says the Max carry capacity of the truck is 4268 LBS.That is what the truck can carry ..
Now you got to weigh the truck ready to hook up to the Montana/You, wife, Dog Chips, ham sandwich ,Full fuel everything you carry in the truck when towing.My Ford weighs in at 9215lbs.

Subtract that number from the GVW, in my case 13,000lbs and we get 3785LBS..Note not the 4268 CC stated on the sticker that was off the line weight.

Now the only thing that has to go IN the truck is the Pin weight.I got 3785lbs to work with .My pin weight on the 3402 is much less than that . We have a dually. Factor in the numbers for your truck not hard to do..If you are good...you are good no matter how many wheels you got
