Trucks payload capacity and tow capacity ratings
Trucks payload capacity and tow capacity ratings
The new 5.3 chevys have 1600LB payload and 9K LB tow capacitys
Are these individual ratings or both at sametime? Like can I load up the bed w/ 1600LB then expect to safely tow another 9K LBs and be legal (in the eyes of the insurance co.?
I’m considering a truck (not another express van) as new tow vehicle.
Would like a camper shell which will be close to the total payload.
Currently towing 3K LBs w/ minimal cargo. Which is less than half express’s TC.
w/ a truck I could talk myself into a heavier toy to haul.
can someone explain this.
Thanks
