Vehicle Capacity Comparison
So there are lots of numbers to know when buying a truck and trailer. I have recently purchased a truck and camping trailer I knew all these numbers but got a little suspicious once seeing the numbers...

My work truck
2006 GMC caynon
GFAWR=2753
GRAWR=2896
=5649
GVWR=5150 so a difference of 500lbs, which is very close to the f150 above.
My payload rating is 1403lbs. YES 250lbs more than my full size hemi powered ram 1500.
So this just makes me wonder even more what the weak link is, or is it just the fact that they use a much larger safety factor than the competition.
Many try to go by there max tires, which this is not a very good method is my eyes as my truck came stock with E range tires rated at 3200lbs which give you a total of 12,800 which is as much if not over most dually trucks.
