Interesting issue this past weekend..... Since getting my 2020 Ford and Redwood, Ive been saying that it tows sooo much lighter than my last combo of the 16 Ford and 16 Redwood... I have NOT scaled the new redwood to date as the guy I used to use closed, so I improvised..

I purchased a Surline 5000# scale and before I used it, I had it calibrated by the scale company we use at work with our ISO programs.... The scale was/is dead on..
Here is the scale -

Wow, Joe, super cool to have that scale. Last time I calculated my pin weight I was almost 5,000 lbs with my 38RL. How did you get so much weight off the pin?

2015 Redwood 38RL
2016 Ford F-350 CC KR DRW 6.7 Powerstroke

Paul.... I have no idea... I do know that we are only weekend warriors and really have a lot of empty space in cabinets.... 

I am at the point that I am gonna get that scale certified yet again to make sure Im not seeing things....  My brochure tells me EMPTY was 2620#... and this came in at just under 2700???
