So, good "guess" on my part about the GCWR being 21,000#?..a GCWR that is 1000# higher than mine. His pin weight will easily hit 3,000# at the least...Guess I like the extra buffer I've given myself in going with the dually/4.10...I won't even go over my truck's GVWR...WELL under my trucks RAWR,and extremely under my truck's GCWR...gives me "peace of mind" towing on mountainous curvy roads and the stability of the dually makes it well worth it....safety is key in my equation on towing.
It wasn't a good guess. Every Thunderbolt AMP is rated at 21k GVWR. ;)
His pin weight WILL NOT exceed 3k and likely won't even hit it. As I posted, my trailer is at 2850 loaded and ready to travel and it goes down to 2650 with the garage loaded. My listed pin is higher than the 420's by 110# so I'd bet money the 420's loaded pin will be lower than mine too. Bottom line is he will be under on his truck's GVWR by over 1k, under on his RAWR, and under on his tire ratings. He will only be over on GCWR if he's loaded heavy ready to tow. I am and am not worried about it in the least. His 3500 megacab will have a GVWR of 12400#. The truck will weigh about 8500 ready to tow. That leave's almost 4k for pin.
As to safety, I have 100% piece of mind with my RV/truck combo. That's a personal thing. Safety is more of a perception than fact based with many people.
