| Listed towing capacities don't always tell the whole story.
Best bet is to look at your GCWR and do a bit of math...
My truck has a listed towing capacity of up to 12,000#.
GCWR is 16,000 lbs
minus curb weight 6,097 lbs
minus 2 people @200#
minus 200# of gear/tools, cargo, food, etc
minus 30 gal gas @6.3lb
That leaves me with 9,114#.
So if you're pushing the limits with your truck, keep in mind that all the stuff in the boat (like batteries and gas) and all the stuff in the truck including you will diminish the towing capacity from what they say you can safely tow in the owners manual.
