I'm sure he does, and I'll admit to baiting him a little with my snarky "school me" comment...I've been on this forum since 2001 listening to this same "discussion" on the Towing and Tow Vehicle forums, GVWR vs GAWR etc etc. We never solve anything, we just have fun talking it to death.
At the end of the day the real limiting factor is the 3450-ish max rating on an E-rated tire. Only way to get more capacity is 19.5 tire and G-rated or dually. Even the GM 14-bolt full floating axle in my 2500 Suburban is rated to 10k lbs.
On the plus side, I brought the camper home with a 250 and it seemed to do fine
Thanks for all the good comments here! This weekend I need to move the camper to where the TT was parked, build a temp garage, and get to the restoration!
