I just weighed my 2015 6.2 LTZ 4x4 Max Tow w/ Outback 277RL on the way to the CG packed for 4 days with DW and dog and a full tank of fuel. In other words the absolute heaviest that MY rig will ever be. Numbers are:
Steer axle 3460 FAWR 3995
Drive axle 3920 RAWR 4300
Total TVW 7380 GVWR 7600
Trailer axles 7400
As you can see, I was under every rating but close to my GVWR. (220 lbs.)
I tow approx. 1000 miles/year so a 3/4ton truck just doesn't make sense for me. I know because I did it for 2 years. The 6.2 MAY require better fuel when actually towing (which I use) but it runs fine on mid-grade the other 14000 miles/year that I drive. It also tows nicely on the NYS Thru-way at 65mph at 1700 rpm's.
Do you know what your toungue weight is?
1100 lbs
