Not to be negative, but a 381M with a SRW???  You are going to be weigh over your payload and likely GVWR...And you might push your GCWR if you load up that trailer. What is your truck's payload, etc. on the sticker?  Guessing around 3,600 in High Country trim?

Thanks and no not being negative at all. and that's what I was referring to when I said I've confirmed from 4-5 people that have them I'm good on payload and GCWR. Max payload for me is 3721, loaded up (remember toy haulers by design offset the pin weight due to toys in the very rear/garage area) I'll be about 2900 pin weight.

 

Max 5th wheel towing for me is 21,200. I'll be around 18k. at 18k + the truck with fuel/humans etc GCWR will be around 26500, max GCWR for me is 29700.

these numbers are on the high end too, normal weights while traveling etc will be less.

Had the truck detailed, paint decontaminated, buffed, polished and ceramic coated. A crew worked on it for 3 days. Paint is looking flawless! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up my 2500 AT4 HD last night.  Dark Sky Metallic.  Unfortunately, the running boards weren't with the truck when it was delivered.  Goes back Friday morning to have those installed along with t

Nice, I really like the Momentum, it may very well be my next trailer.  This is the largest one I have owned owned so far at 38'.  I towed it with my 2500 LMM.  I was definitely running right at my max towing capacity but was actually within my payload and axle limits.  Although, one time on the way back from a hunting trip with 3 elk loaded in the box ahead of the 5th wheel, I scaled it and was 200 lbs over on the steering axle and 600 lbs over on the drive axle.  With the garage loaded up, most of the weight was on the trailer axles which kept the pinbox weight down. 

Sweet! post up some photos of your truck with your trailer! and yeah sounds like you'd be at the limit on the 2500. haha yeah those elks, especially THREE, add up in weight pretty quick haha.

Good thing 2 of those Elk were quite small.  Not a lot of room in front of the 5th wheel.  Even when the meat is broken down and stacked, it still takes up quite a bit of room.

I have a 351M and went to a dually.  Without the toys in the back, I am at a pin weight of 3,400 pounds.  I have not checked it yet with toys, but we camp more than half the time without the bikes.

Oh right, in FRONT of the 5th wheel, yeah no room at all!

I'll agree a dually is the best way to go, but I'd rather have an SRW and no toy hauler at this time than a DRW and a toy hauler. But I'll never not have toys in the back. all empty pin weight is only around 2600lbs. water tanks on the 381 are mostly over the axles as well but I'm also not going to ever need 150 gallons of fresh either. (I lived in a dry cabin, no running water, in Alaska for 5 years surviving off of two refillable 5 gallon water jugs haha and was perfectly happy). 

 

I believe the water tanks on the 351 are a little more forward of the axles as well which of course adds to pin weight especially with an empty garage.

Don't let the weight police get you down.  :)   

 

I would say disc brakes are worth the money on your trailer when you are towing heavy near or at capacity.

Pickup this truck up on Monday.  It replaces a 2008 that I enjoyed for a long time.

2020 LTZ 2500HD_2.jpg

Absolutely love that color with the chrome! This is actually the same spec I hope to get sometime within the next year or so (Cajun Red LTZ with Z71). Funnily enough, my current truck is an '08 too ? I must ask, how do you like the truck so far?

Point Taken.  I loaned my mini to a pair of seniors who had the good fortune of having issues with their main sewer line that requires digging a section up--and they need it fixed now, not later--during this state of emergency.  I just unloaded, unhooked, and left, after wiping the interior of the mini down with sanitizer.  I believe my actions were in compliance with the lock down as I was voluntarily helping seniors with essential services and I never got within 6 feet of anyone.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
