Clarification on tow capacity
If a vehicle says it's tow capacity is 9,000 lbs what does that 9,000 pounds include? Obviously the TT plus whatever we have in it and the water in it... But what else?

And it's not necessarily a TT that it's referring to either... Could be a boat trailer or a flat bed or a ??? Lots of difference between a #9000 TT and a #9000 boat when it's hitched up to your vehicle...
You have to also consider what you are loading in the vehicle too, as anything over the driver is basically considered 'payload' and counts against that 'tow rating'. Add the spouse, kids, dog, stuff, you usually have to subtract that from the 'tow rating'..
Good luck!
