Just to see how things handle, I'll be taking my Dad's "new to him" 06 2500HD with the 6.0/4.10 combo up to Sunset Point this weekend towing my trailer. It's a good climb out of Phoenix and should give me a good idea if that combo would be bearable in the Sub.

I just caught a lead on an 06 4x4 8 pass. cloth with the 8.1, but the yellow sticker lists payload at only 1980. Can that be right? I thought for sure they were all lighter than the newer models. Has anyone actually weighed their TV empty and found the real payload different than the yellow sticker indicates?

I don't think I was as clear with the numbers as I could have been.
Scale Weights (loaded for camping)
- Front Axle 4140
- Rear Axle 4500
- Trailer Axle 7000
- Total GCWR 15640
The weights from the scale was with our current truck loaded for camping with passengers. My thoughts were if I was at 6850 unloaded and approx. 8600 loaded in the DMax,wouldn't a burb be about the same, just a little lighter? I figured 6500 unloaded and about 8250 loaded, or 350 under GVWR. Room for a couple kids and still be 100 or so lbs under.
As far as the tongue weight, I was thinking it was closer to 1k with the other 750lbs of payload mentioned above going to passengers and gear. We weigh about 550-600 for all 5 of us.
I think APT is correct and that I'll have to get a tongue weight scale to really know where I stand.
If I went with the older burb it would be a dedicated TV, whereas the newer one would serve double-duty as it would replace the Honda Pilot and my truck. I'd be back down to two cars instead of 3, a Suburban and Nissan Leaf (David and Goliath so to speak).
Thanks for all the responses so far.
