Thanks for the reply. Now that I’ve completed the purchase of the truck, I have the LST. It shows a GVWR of 6,300 lb for the truck, with a front GAWR of 3,000 lb and rear GAWR of 3,400 lb.
The reason behind my question was that I need to rent a trailer to tow the vehicle from Colorado to Illinois. I can rent a 7,000 lb GVWR trailer (trailer weight ~1,500 lb, so GCWR ~5,500 lb) for $250 a week, or a 10,000 lb GVWR trailer (trailer weight ~2,200 lb / GCWR ~7,800 lb) for $450. I don’t want to throw money away, but it sounds like I should be able to get by with the 7,000 lb GVWR trailer.
i agree that the ideal solution is to drive it to a truck scale, but I couldn’t do so without being in Colorado. Do you see any flaws in my thinking?
