Please help me check the math on my trucks’ ability tow my TT.

My TT:

4900 lbs total
550 lbs tongue weight

My truck:

GVWR: 7200lbs
Max Towing: 8800lbs
Truck weight without passengers and a full tank of gas: 5890lbs

So here is my math:

(7200-5890) - 550 = 760

So I would have 760lbs for passengers and all of our other stuff?

Your math is right IF those are real numbers from a scale and not printed literature.

I bet the yellow sticker on your doorjam says your payload is close to 1310lb. If that tongue weight is the actual weight you have 760 lbs left for people and stuff.

Forums are great one guy says your right another says your wrong. You'll sort it out........
