Please correct me if I am wrong here, with the 1000lbs receiver limit, how does that translate to 'dry hitch weight'. On the Eagle TT the dry hitch weight (lbs) is '903'...?
This is the sticker on my 2011 2500 Suburban and is the same as the half tons as it is integrated into the chassis.
So 1000 pounds is with weight distribution.
903 dry web site/brochure tongue weight will be 1100-1200 pounds loaded. Some manufacturers do not include weight of propane tanks and options in published in dry weights. And any cargo added in front of the axles will increase tongue weight. 903 pounds dry is way to close to 920 pound receiver limit of an Expy and even my own 1000 pound limit.
There are lighter versions of that floorplan. Keystone Passport 3290BH is one at 6400 pounds dry. Dry TW is listed at 825. I would consider that with my TV and 1000 pound TW limit, but not not a large family and half ton.
The GM 1-ton vans with 6.0L/6-spd have the same drivetrain as my Suburban except 3.42 axle and 2WD only. Owners are very pleased with them towing and not.
