This link is super helpful by itself. Thank you! My wife and will also be happy to see we have the optional inboard driver/passenger airbag as safety was part of the reason behind getting a newer vehicle (been rocking around in a ‘99 Toyota).
It doesn't look like they list the GCWR...
I think the GCWR for that transmission is like 21,000 lbs. Not sure why they don't list it. My understanding is that the drivetrain is adapted from a 3500 SRW truck on that generation, so it's plenty beefy. They probably assumed most of those vehicles were going to get outfitted for something and towing wasn't really a priority for the end user?
Have you weighed the truck? Based on published payload and your sticker GVWR, 6200 lb curb weight sounds a bit low to me, but I may be wrong.
I have not weighed it yet. This truck still has temp tags on it, that’s how new-to-me it is. Comparing the curb weight would be inline with a 3500srw truck at 6400lbs (+/-).
I think knowing the setup is good for 20klbs towing is beneficial. Using published numbers for 3500srw might be the best gauge for real world figures. Your input has been super helpful!
