Here is where I am confused. Does max towing capacity Apply to trailer gvwr or loaded trailer weight?
AS mentioned...Any trucks max tow capacity is a gross weight number. GVWR number doesn't tell all the story as you suggest.
Question is more do I need to legally worry about the unit's gvwr being over the trucks listed towing capacity if I am under that loaded?
Tow capacity or the trucks gvwr isn't used for any legal purpose out here in the world of trucking. RV's are the same.
Just stay under a the trucks axle/tire load numbers (rawr as its carrying just about all the load) ........or if your state has a registered weight of some type.
We have a toy hauler forum where someone probably has the same rig and maybe some actual weight numbers or advice/suggestions/etc. Ask the mod to move you over there for more input.
