Are you serious? We visited most of the National Parks in Kalifornia and found where parts of roads that slid of the side of the mountain, Kalifornia’s fix was to put a sign up stating single lane! Took Rt. 199 to the Redwood NP and the road was winding and rock overhanging to the point you had to get into the oncoming lane to avoid hitting my 12’ tall TC! Took Rt. 120 into Yosemite NP, a rock slid occurred years ago, Kalifornia’s answer was to not fix but find an alternate route around it. Low and behold a rock slide fell on that route and we had to take a 5 hour round trip to get back into the park! Took Kalifornia over a month to remove that rock! New York roads are some of the best designed, best signed and best maintained roads in the United States.
National Park roads are federal. Soo Trump, blaming someone else for not properly maintaining federal lands where fires started when it's his responsibility, lol.

Double check me but I'm pretty sure the curb weight includes a 150 lb driver, full fuel so the 1780 payload would be on top of that. If that is the case the 880 lbs (after subtracting the tongue weight) would be for passengers and gear.
I am 99% sure curb weight is for an empty vehicle. Many manufactures include a driver in a towing capacities, but not in the payload numbers.

mlh....I still have not totally ruled out a 250/2500 even though I'd have to register it as a commercial vehicle. The fact that I couldn't use most of the freeways on Long Island makes it a hard sell. So if I can safely tow the trailer we want with a 1/2 ton truck I have to seriously consider it. What rear end was in the truck that you traded in?

This one is worse than California’s stupid 55 MPH speed limit while towing.
