Confused about towing weight
I'm thinking about buying a 2005 Chevy 2500 4WD Silverado Crew Cab LS Diesel. It has a Duramax Motor All I know at this point is GVWR 9200, GAWR front 4670, GAWR rear 6084. It will be pulling a Key...

You may have up to 2500 lbs pin weight when loaded. Most likely your rear axle weight is around 3000 lbs empty. The axle can handle over 9000 lbs, but the springs and wheels are limiting the rating. I would not have a problem towing that FW with your truck but would watch rear axle weight and possibly go to higher rated rims and tires if you get close.
