Looking for help, assistance, and advice.
My Question - I would like to purchase a 5th wheel around 8-10k lbs (empty) knowing I will probably add 1-2k lbs of stuff. DO I have enough truck? Already gave the sales manager a heads up that I think we might need to look for a 3500HD. I might mentioned, with a family of four and three dogs we will add about 800 pounds of occupancy to the truck.
Here is the story - Purchased a Silverado 2500HD yesterday - 4x4 Crew Cab Standard Bed. I believe the GVWR of the truck is 10,000 with a GCWR of 25,300 (13,500 towing). I believe the weight is 7,462.
The inside of the door jam has two stickers - one tells me my occupants and cargo should never exceed 1,960 lbs. The other is the GVWR (as mentioned 10k) and then the GAWR Front at 5,200lbs and then the GAWR Rear at 6,200lbs.
I added the link to the vehicle I purchased as it should still be up for a day of two longer.
