Thanks to all who responded :) I am still confused but have learned from your posts.. it does seem that general opinion is that a 1500 truck should probably not have a TC (or at least one that is 2400#). The truck is not x-tended cab, and numbers are GVWR 6400, GAWR (frt) 3150, GAWR (rear) 3686. The owner manual for the Starcraft shows the 'center of gravity' at the rear axle and my mechanic thinks it would be fine on my truck, so this is what confused me. I'm thinking that optimum performance and safety would dictate not having a TC that heavy (or get a bigger truck!), so will keep looking. Really appreciate how quickly this community responded!!
There should be a placard in the glovebox saying exactly how much weight your truck can carry..
I had 2000GMC 1500 and it could only carry about 1700 lbs..
4x4 will carry even less..
