That's not the way I heard it. Since the weight of fuel changes as you drive, I have always heard it was not included. I guess it is time for a deep dive on the issue.
No, it’s not. It’s not that intersting or beneficial to anyone except those that sit around wringing their hands over gvws and payloads as if a few lbs or even a few hundred lbs makes an iota of difference.
But fwiw curb weight is ready to roll, full of fluids, all of them. And generally payloads are considering at least a driver and some consider all seats full of hypothetical 150lb passengers.
And it absolutely doesn’t matter with that trailer and a 3/4 ton of any flavor.
The Duramax is just a bonus in the equation.
