In the end, no more than 8000lbs loaded!
This follows a rule of thumb about towing I learned many years ago before GCWR's became common. RA time 2 for max trailer weight. Being as the truck the op is looking at, has a 4100 rgawr, times two is 8200 lbs.
THis is a general rule of thumb, when the tail will start wagging the dog. Yes you can go higher. Or if you load said tail incorrect, you can get in trouble at a lower amount too!
its not just how much HP, low gears in axel vs gears in trans vs _________!
