Yeah I understand about diesel being better for towing & that the numbers are maximum tow capabilities under prime conditions. What I am trying to understand is if 8750lbs is the maximum why not be just under that weight w/ a aux brake & anti sway torsioned hitch assembly? Seems like the manufacturer of my truck got their numbers wrong.
The posted(advertised) numbers are usually the highest available in that vehicle, your configuration will change them. 99% of the time your limiting factor will be payload.
