Diesel class c
Hello, Retirement is closing in fast. We have been towing a 22'TT with a Dodge Cummins. The 'dream' has been to go to a diesel class c approx 24?+' and towing a Subaru Forester, own one with manuel 5 ...
I see a lot of Sprinter based "C"s, all of which are diesels. Most recent models are rated for 5000 pounds, which is good enough for a Jeep Wrangler or such.You can't tow 5,000 pounds with a Sprinter class C. 5,000 pounds is the hitch rating and will put you well over the GCWR. Loaded up, a Sprinter class C is very close to its GVWR of 11,030. Many owners routinely run a couple hundred pounds over. The GCWR of 15,250 minus the GVWR of 11,030 leaves 4,220 pounds for towing.
