Much thanks to all of you for your responses. We have already decided that any used unit we purchase, we will have an independent RV inspector go through. I will mention the Lippert frame issue to him.
So - my question is this. Should we be concerned about having a pin weight over 2000 lbs on the truck I have listed below:
2003 GMC 2500HD / Duramax / Allison Trans
3.73 gear ratio
4WD
extended cab (NOT crew cab).
Weights as follows: full tank of fuel with DH and I:
front axle was 4180
rear axle was 2960.
Is a Husky 16K manual slider hitch okay for this unit?
Again - THANKS!
You will most likely be a bit over the 9200 GVWR of the truck, however you have around 3K capacity on the rear axle. That is were 99.95 percent of the pin weight ends up. AND your will be no different than most 250/2500 towing a fifth wheel.
People get all in a knot about GVWR which is a manufacturers warranty issue. Staying within the tire ratings in much more important.
