While it lists a towing capacity of 12,000 lb, that's not entirely accurate. Subtracting the empty weight of the truck itself of 6,200 lb leaves you with 5,800 lb. Add a tank of gas and two 200# passengers, 100 pounds of gear, you lose another 750 pounds, leaving you close to 5000# that you can safely tow before the vehicle is technically overloaded.
I have never heard this before. You subtract the weight of the truck from its towing capacity? |
