Add me to the 'more than confused' group. Here's my numbers and the question is "What 5er can I pull with this unit?".
2000 Sonoma, 4.3L, 4x4, ext cab, auto, 190 HP, HD suspension, Gear ratio 3.73, WB 122.9"
GCWR: Can't find it but have seen other posts claiming 9,000 and 9,200 lbs.
GVWR: 5,150, Curb Wt = 3,765, Payload = 1,385
GAWR: F = 2800 R= 2700
Tow Rating: 5,900
Here's what I've calc'd and would appreciate feedback. Yes, these are calcs to the max!
GVWR (5150) - Curb Wt (3765) - Passenger's (350) - Gas (150) - hitch (100) = Max Pin Wt (785)
Payload (1,385) = Passenger's (350) + Gas (150) + hitch (100) + Max Pin Wt (785)
Max RV wt (5,233) x 15% = Max Pin Wt (785)
GCWR = GVWR(5,150) + 5er(5,233) - Pin Wt (785) = 9,598 (Close or what?)
The UVW of the unit I am looking at is 4,150 which includes 257# of water and 59# of propane.
That would seem to indicate about 1,100 pounds to spare.
OK, let me have it! Thanks in advance.
