Jmtandem yes thats exactly what i was trying to avoid.
I found an interesrting section on the web gm site, and something similar on ford
4387lbs for the truck alone
385 lbs for 2 pass.
400 lbs of gear
100 lbs ? For the hitch
910 lbs on the tongue (13 % of 7000 max trailer weight )
1795 lbs for pass equip etc etc
4387 for the p.u
7000 max weight for the trailer
14172 for gcwr
max allowed be gm for a sierra 1500
16700 lbs and this is with the biggest towing option
so my margin is 2528
not a whole of a lot
The 2500 is going to be the safer choice what do think about my numbers here ?
