What is the "real" GVWR?
So, after months of looking for a TT for my 2013 Tacoma to safely tow< I'm still confused about the GVWR. On some models the dry weight is say 3155 lbs with the gvwr at 5890lbs. So, I can put 2735lbs ...

I've always just made sure that the trailer GVWR is well below the tow capacity of the tow vehicle. Less confusion, less jibberish. Right now my tow vehicle (nissan frontier) has a tow cap of 6100 lbs.
the GVWR of my TT is 3532 lbs.
I tend to run conservative on most things, I don't like tearing thing up, or bogging down on the highway.
Fair enough. If your trailer just happens to be at it's gross weight, then you are at 57% of the "towing" capacity.
Do you happen to know at what percentage of rear axle capacity, and gross weight capacity of the truck you are ?
