New 30' TT w/ SUV TV, numbers check
Hey everyone, I've done a lot of the basic math already - but I'm aware that many of you will drill down into every ounce of weight / specs humanly possible, so I figured I'd see if anything jumped ou...

Not really a typical SUV, some of the numbers are unusual. :)
Curb is 5796, payload 1806, GVWR 7121, GCWR 13,277, tow rating 7700
Something is wrong here. If the curb weight is 5796 and the GVWR is 7121, how can the payload be 1806? 7121 - 5796 = 1325
Look at the tire loading sticker on the door jamb. What does that list as the max payload?
True that's like how the GCWR - curb weight = less than the tow weight. Good catch.
The sticker makes a little more sense, "combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 1473lbs" aka payload. Website I got the info from (the howstuffworks database) is off.
Still means the other numbers are off too, right? Everywhere says 7121. That's still about 100lb off, unless they got all of their numbers on a lighter curb weight base model - (no 3rd row..and the curtain airbags / audio controls back there etc, no rear AC system, no extra speakers / sub, etc) are probably at least 200lb lighter.
Not sure if they're allowed to publish the #s based on a single trim level. It would probably be a PITA to redo all the numbers every time they add some options.
7121 - 1473 on the sticker gives an assumed curb weight of 5648. I kinda wish. :) That's the only thing I can think they did there.
