towing poundage//correct??
have a 2004 sierra 1500 w/3.73 diff....5.3l v-8...standard bed...several publications list this to be able to tow 8100 lbs...also know following:
1. gvwr=6200
2. fawr=3600
3. rawr=3886
vehicle weight w/full gas/me in it
4. front axle weight 3080
5. rear axle weight 2040
6. total weight 5120
so, all this means i have a payload,which will include the tongue weight of a TT, to be 1080lbs???(6200-5120) is this correct?? also, seems to me that if the combined axle weight rating is 7486 lbs, why is the gvwr only 6200lbs???
