    I hope I bought the right parts

    I've got the manual and a half dozen websites open and I'm getting different numbers for literally every meaningful value: payload, gcwr, hitch weight, etc. Every website shows different values. Why is this information so annoying to sort out? I'm driving a 2020 Tahoe LT 5.3L RWD. The manual...
