2006 Chevy 2500HD towing package crew cab short bed
BIG Block Vortec 8.1 lt
Allison 6 speed auto trans, 4.10 rear and single rear wheels.
Weighted certified Interstate scale today with my 185 lb lard butt off the scale;
3/4 tank of gas front 3580 lbs rear 2580 lbs total 6160 lbs.
Manual and side plate show Max trailer weight at 12,000 lbs and GCWR at 22,000 lbs.
In the process of getting a 96 Cardinal 35 ft. with 3 slides, washer/dryer combo. Trailer plate shows GVRW at 12,000 lbs and GAWR at 6,000 lbs but have not gotten a certified weight yet as have no way to move it at this time.
My question, Is the Cardinal too much for my Chebby to tow safely? Myself, I have driven, ridden and been certified with endorcements to drive most everything that moves.
