BASE WEIGHT TOTAL 7620
FRONT 4707 REAR 2913
GAWR FRONT 5750 REAR 6000
GCWR 25300
MAX. TRAILER WEIGHT RATING
17210
So we have a 2016 2500 short bed 4x4 Dodge Diesel
Looking at a 2015 Solitude @ 12650 pounds** based on average
Hitch weight 2600** based on average
GVWR 16,000
Are we within our limits?
Thanks
Probably not, even under the best of estimates. I see you have a listed GVWR of 16000lbs and another weight of 12650lbs, I would guess the lower number is dry weight. The 2600lbs also looks to be dry pin weight, you are already over your stated rated payload rating of 2380lbs. Once you load up, I would guess your pin weight will be around 3000lbs, unless you are very careful with loading and don't put anything in the front storage compartments.
Can you tow it? Sure. Will you be within your limits...no.
