Truck
So my GVRW is 9200, curb weight is 5090. It is a 2001 Silverado HD with 6.6 Duramax. Am 8 correct that I can haul a camper up to about 4000 LBS.

Thanks folks, looked at the camper today, dry weight is 1810, 1 propane tank,a/c and that's it, I usually don't travel with water on board. I think I'm good. Comments?
1810 lb dry weight TC that size may = 2600-2800 lbs by the time its loaded. Now add maybe another 200 lbs of necessary junk we add to our trucks which some will be over the trucks rear axle....now its close to 3000 lbs in the bed.
GM trucks that model with the Dmax/A has a 6200 rawr and may can weigh in the 2700-2900 lb range = approx 3300-3400 lbs for a payload in the bed. You have the truck so gets some front and rear axle weights so you know how much load the trucks axles/tires and wheels are carrying.
The RAWR includes axle/tire/wheel and rear suspension. The axle is the same 11.5" AAM as 3500 srw and drw GM trucks so no problems their. Higher rated wheels/tires and after market rear suspension will fix you up if the rear sags more than you like.
Looks like a good match for that model 2500 GM truck.
