Towing ratings deduct pound for pound of passengers weight, gear and tongue weight. You were in danger zone.
Signed,
Happy k2500 sub owner.
I already said I was over on many of my ratings. What "towing ratings" are you referring to? The 8600 GVWR covers all weight including passengers, gear and tongue. I was at 8840. I wouldn't call 3% over "in danger zone."
The weights on the slip were taken with my family and gear already on board. And as I'm sure you already know as an owner of one of these beasts, the K2500 Suburban has a curb weight right around 6500, and my unhitched weight was 7720, so that's a clue that I already had passengers and gear on board. ;)
