Yeah I’d be within those limits.
Tire loading sticker shows 1,644 lbs for payload. GVWR is listed at 7,350. With what I have calculated I’d be within those limits and that’s with calculating tongue weight at 15% to be safe. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding you. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think GCWR matters too right? That had to come from the manual, not the stickers. Max number is 13,500 lbs.
Correct me if I’m wrong but to get curb weight it’d take the listed on the sticker GVWR of 7,350 minus the 1,644 number on the tire loading sticker which equals 5706.
Loaded trailer is 6,060. Cargo INCLUDING truck accessories equals 730.tongue weight = 900 lbs. 900+730 = 1630. 1,630+5706 =7,336 and that’s with calculating tongue weight at 15%. 7,336+6060-900=12,496. So about 1k under the GCWR.
Just wanted to know if I can safely stop the vehicle. Seems like the 80% rule is more of a longevity rule for parts on the truck. At least that’s what I was told of inquiring about this with folks. Towing capacity is 7,800. Loaded trailer + cargo puts me at 87% towing capacity. This amount of cargo would literally be a one time trip for me. Every other time I’ll be right at 80%.
