3350 dry, 5200 GVWR. Actual is around 4000.
Not sure on tounge weight. I do often tow the trailer with an 750lb atv in the truck bed though. Estimate I am around 1400 lbs payload on a given trip.
16.5 MPG not towing, but I do a lot of short city driving and it idles a lot (boat launches, dump stations, hitching up, etc). "Normal person" MPG would be around 17.5 combined. Hwy is 19 MPG.
It tows my TT better with the ATV in the bed actually. I'm right at my payload or even slightly over. I have air bags and an standard WD hitch. Its an awesome truck for what I use it for.
