You are correct and I was wrong. What is the 8.1 then?

Just a quick note that the 8.1L is the 454 from what I remember. Never heard of a 7.4L Chevy unless it is the 427.
I may be wrong though but never mistaken.

Muse, I think you have terms confused.
TT = Travel Traler or Tongue Tow
TV = Tow Vehicle
FW = Fifth Wheel

Hello All,
I am new to RVing (as in I do not yet have a TT or TV) and I am looking at a 2001 Skyline Layton Rampage 3300 with no slides. To tow it I am looking at a 1993 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab Dually with the 7.4L in it. I do prefer a diesel, but I am mainly looking for a TT and TV to start with, there is always room for upgrading and modifying once I have a place to start.
The TV has a UWV of 8210 lbs and a GVWR of 12100 lbs. The TT has a Gross Trailer Weight of 10000 lbs and a max Rear Axle Weight of 7500 lbs. The TV has 2 axles also. With these stats, will the truck be able to tow the trailer within safe limitations? I have looked at the equation for figuring out if the TV exceeds the TT limits, but I'm still not able to understand it. 😕 If I am missing any variables to the equation, please let me know and I will post them to this thread.
Thank you for your time in reading this and replying to it. Take care and God Bless.
Very Respectfully,
Muse
