I was looking on here and found a 2012 Coronado and a 2018 that matched you specs so maybe it gives an idea for the one your looking at. Each one shows up as having a gross vehicle weight of 52,000. I don’t know if that’s accurate or the average or if that’s with full or empty tanks, but that might be in the ballpark of the average weight of the Coronado trucks. -
You need scale weight now gross vehicle weight. Best guess is 20k but call a company like harrison gliders or fitzgerald and ask for a scale weight or stamped weight
Dalpik Thanks this. -
Gross weight combination will be 80000.
What you are seeking is the TARE weight empty with full tanks without trailer and with trailer.
The bobtails I was getting prior to 2001 with that size sleeper were hefty at about 18000 each closer to 20000 with me and spouse and everything in it. 53 foot great dane reefer was probably closer to 15000 more empty. Roughly. Give or take a thousand.
The only way to be sure is to take it to a CAT scale with 11 dollars and weigh it as you like it. -
Call the dealer and ask.

As @x1Heavy said, the answer you seek is about the same as a Cheeseburger+Fries+Drink at Five Guys Burger = $11
Then for ketchup, use 7lbs per 1 gallon of diesel to get the half-tank vs. full tank calculation -
Should be able to scale 45500. To 46000. My 2016 Columbia and 53 dry van low on fuel maybe just under half. 47000 is possible

You shouldn't have any problem hauling 45,500. -
Just 45500? Getting a little hefty with those empties are we? Used to be we toss 48000 or a tad heavier into the box at times.
rearview and Crude Truckin' Thank this. -
