GVWR/Towing capacity question
This new Dodge lists the GVWR at 6,350lbs and a towing capacity of 9,200lbs. I thought your GVWR was your towing capacity. Help in layman's terms? Thanks folks... -Doug

The GVWR is the max your TV can weigh fully loaded to go, including everything in it plus the TT hitch weight. The towing capacity is more a marketing number and the least reliable of any of the ratings. With a ½ ton, payload is typically the rating that limits you, you’ll exceed that before you get near any tow rating. In any event, you don’t want to push the ratings if you want to enjoy the tow.
