I just bought a 30foot Tt dry weight is 5200 loaded is 7500 I believe by the manufacture sticker I am towing it with a 2014 gmc 1500.
I looked up max tow rating on my gmc in the manual and used my window sticker for refers to what was equipped it said max was 9600 pounds now looking at my door sticker I don't see 9600 pounds anywhere on it am I missing something?? Or is my truck rated to tow a lot less then what the manual says
Sorry for the poor grammar typing on my cell phone
Young Grasshopper, more you should know...
Your max tow rating is with a completely empty truck except you, yourself, and you. If you weigh over 150#, subtract that from your max tow rating. If you have anything in the bed, a 72 oz. cola in the cupholder, a tin of Altoids, an extra pair of shoes, an aftermarket lid or tonneau, and a sub sandwhich, deduct their weights, too. Its true, not a joke.
