7,200 lbs (GVWR) - 1,331 lbs (payload) = 5,869 lbs (curb weight) 15,600 (GCWR) - 5,869 = Your Max tow capacity of 9,731 lbs

Remember that the dry tongue weight listed (806 lbs) will go up by a few hundred once you load the trailer with cargo, water, propane, batteries, etc. Plus add another 75-100 lbs for the WDH 1,061 lbs of payload means that your truck weighs 6,039 lbs by itself. (7,100 - 1,061). Yes driver and...

My normal temps towing ~8k lbs

I had this exact same problem. It was a bad battery.

Sounds like you’re looking at travel trailers. Dry tongue weight isn’t realistic. Estimate 12% of trailer weight. You need a WDH, which will also weigh 75-100 lbs Correct if passengers, gear and WDH combined weigh 600 lbs then you have 1,011 lbs left to carry the tongue weight

No, Mopar MaxCare does not cover eTorque’s 48V battery

Towing the GN

@Scram1500 hit the weakness GM needs a bigger tank option

I think it has more to do with the frontal area. My trailer is 11’+ tall.

Did 1k towing in 95F heat last week. Temps were a tad higher than my usual (172F trans and 230F oil). Engine oil was a full ~10F warmer and hit 258-260F on long grades.

8,000 lbs loaded w/ 960 lbs TW
