I agree Wadcutter’s math doesn’t add up!
I tow a 32’ 12,360# GVWR 5er slightly over at 12,600#, with a 2001 Ram 2500. Ready to tow the TV weighs 7,800# without the 5er, the packages GCVW is 20,500#, the pin is right at 2,600# +/- So Wagcutter is either towing his 5er near empty or has it full of helium!.
Doesn't matter what you believe. I've got the weight tickets. You both are just WAG without knowing what GVWR even means. My last ticket from spring totaled 20,100. That was with about 1/2 full holding tank, some clothes, no food so it was a bit light for normal travel. However, we normally only run with about 1/2 full holding tank but not near 1000 lbs of food and extra clothes.
You guys keep quoting GVWR. Obviously neither of you understand that GVWR is not actual weight. GVWR is Gross Vehicle WEIGHT RATING. A rating. Not actual weight.
You guys would have both flunked my truck weight classes.
