Towing capability

[muchocheko]

Hello Everyone,

I have a capability question on towing. I've done some research and I think I'm good, just want to make sure I've done the calculations right and not missed anything.

I have a 2019 Classic 1500 Tradesman Crew cab with 6'4" bed with the Ecodiesel and 3.55 gear ratio.
My travel trailer weighs 4278 dry and I calculate 4678 loaded.

Payload capacity for the truck is 1200 pounds and we'll have 1092 pounds in it including passengers, cargo, hitch and tongue weight.

I found the truck has a GCWR of 13750, and I'll come in at 11168, given a curb weight of the truck at 5398.

Does this sound right? I think I'm good but want to make sure.

Thanks for the help!

Sounds good to me. The truck and the trailer match up pretty good.

Enjoy.

It looks good from here I'd hit a CAT scale if there's one nearby to see how the weight is distributed once you're loaded up.
Having a 1500 with the 6'4 bed is nice, there aren't too many of them in my area. Good luck with the ecoD.

Yea, CAT scale is one handy tool. 12 bucks well spent in my opinion.
