I'm getting so much conflicting info. Feeling stressed.
Purchasing a 2017 Rockwood 5er.
Dry 9,156#,
Payload 1,619# (so I assume GVWR 11,000# ?),
Hitch weight 1,625# but I'm figuring 2,000# real world.
DILEMMA is the truck needed. Looking at a
2013 GMC 2500HD
6.0 Gasser
4x4
Extended cab, standard bed
VIN: 1GT121CG2DF196099
Towing capacities range from 9500-14,000# depending on diff. (This is only one resource. Another one says both diffs can tow over 13,000#. Don't remember exact numbers)
Problem is I don't know the actual gear ratio. And even if I did, some resources say BOTH rear ends are adequate. Others say only ONE of them is.
SO, can someone help with identifying which diff it has? I've included the vin to help narrow it down. AND also advise me if this is a good towing match?
