To correct a number and add more speculation.
I couldn't remember if it was 50 or 100 for hitch. Turns out it is 75.
So, 375 needs added to get to GCWR.
The Hemi is already botched by 910lbs so it is actually botched by 1285. Using SAEJ2807, GCWR would be 18250. Or if we assume they...
Yes. And that validates my point. We can. A probable one.
BECAUSE, We Don't KNOW The GVWR of the new truck.
But, let's do that.
If the truck continues with a 7100 GCWR we can with that chart.
GCWR equals base weight plus max towing
Old Hemi
(7100 minus 1940) plus 12750 Equals 17910. Well...
What...What...max tow for the HO hurricane is...
No can't be...10740...😁
But I have to admit...I need to redo the math...figure out what ******** allowance they are using on the new dream scheme.
That didn't show GCWR by the way, for anyone following along...
Gross Combined Weight Rating for the 5.7 with 3.92 is 17k
A Tradesman with 1800 lbs of payload is used for MAX TOW. (DONT BE A SMART ***, EACH YEAR IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT...I JUST WENT WITH A EASY NUMBER...I can consult the tow charts and give exact numbers)
So 7100 GVWR
Speaking of ....what...
You said max tow. I asked if anyone could produce GCWR. You, yourself said you haven't seen a tow chart.
Now you are saying you know GCWR.
So which is it?
Are you still basing this on a Max tow number (WHICH I HAVE SCREAMED FOR YEARS IS A USELESS FABRICATED NUMBER) ?
Or did you find it in...
The reduced tow rating is because it is only available in the heavier trucks.
This is why tow ratings really just need to be overlooked.
Unless you can produce a reduced GCWR rating (because I have to admit, I haven't looked) it is the base weight of the truck, and the charts are scheduled due...
The charts are not for a specific truck.
The only thing you need from the chart is GCWR! Gross Combined Weight Rating!
Do you have 3.21 or 3.92 gears?
3.21. GCWR is 13900
3.92. GCWR is 17000
All the other information is on your door jamb.
GVWR and Payload.
So you look at your door Jamb...
Over the years I have tried to make updates to the numbers. If I missed any let me know.
These numbers will all be changing now that the Hemi is gone. I think there are already some threads about that. I will update as the trucks roll out, if I remember.
He wants a ballpark figure of what his truck is capable of
The math I showed is not guessing. It is fact and with hundreds of people following it over the past many years...it is accurate to pounds, so much as nothing is in the truck.
That said, you are correct if he has stuff he forgot...
