Great info Handye9!! Obviously I want to go as big as possible but I also want to be safe.
Right now my tundra hauls my 25’ boat with ease. My dry weight on the boat is right around 5,000 pounds. But once I have it loaded with 60 gallons of gas, coolers, all the anchors/skis/floating equipment im sure im pushing 7,000 pounds.
According to the sticker you told me to look at here is my info
a) 1,375 pounds
b) Dealer added on accessories of 107 pounds
c) Assuming 800 pounds like you mentioned of cargo/people/hitch
d) Remaining payload is 468 pounds
e) 468 / 0.13 = 3,600 pounds
I understand the route you are going to get these numbers but according to the numbers listed and your calculations the most you would recommend towing is 3,600 pounds. As mentioned my boat is nearly double this size and my truck pulls this with ease. I don’t fully understand why 3,600 pounds would be the limit? Heck, according to that number its not even safe for me to haul my double axle utility trailer with it loaded with atv’s
