An average loaded boondock 'traveling' weight with Lance Camper on is about 9900 lbs. Truck only w/ full fuel is around 7300 lbs. In the past, I've done road trips with the camper on pulling a trailer with jeep on, and a lot of other 'stuff' on the trailer, bringing the CGVW up to 18,000 lbs, still 1300 lbs. under the max CGVW.
I've recently installed 1 ton secondaries and Stable Loads on the rear axle, essentially giving the rig 1 ton capabilities(if not specs). Virtually everything else is the same as the 3500 Dodge. Yes, I know the duallie has extended hubs for longer lugs and more off set, and slightly different WMS to WMS track.
I just bought the last two Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's in a 33-15.50R16 size. Man, are they wide. Uninflated on my garage floor the tread is over 15 inches wide! E-rated, 3750 lb. capy. I'm just waiting for my Nitto Mud
Grapplers (33-14.50R16) to wear out. It may be a while, but the M./T.'s look like a much quieter tread (an AT tread)
You know, this traveling weight question has a lot of variables.
Add to the gross if:
carrying firewood, axe and chainsaw
generator (don't take it every time)
extended extraction/recovery tools/equipment
cold weather gear
extra 10 gallons of diesel fuel
cargo basket on rear
Lots of extended outback food and liquids.
extra liquor with which to barter.
