    700 series trucks. Historically heavy front ends.

    The 600s are much smaller & lighter units...

    My 700s have been 12,800 - 13,100 with a load of fuel...bobtail...

    With a trailer 12,500-12,800..... Unless you go rearward of center on tandems with fifth wheel which rides really bizarre.

    Volvo equipped with 14 ply tires , couldn't even handle 12,500# ....soooo
    (Had to put 16ply on to make it legal on the tires)

    The 13,100# one has more options on the truck...and 150s vs 125s (tanks)
