And here is an example.
Our 2004 Dodge dually had a crew cab and long bed (2wd). It had an auto trans and a 5.9 cdi Cummins turbo diesel. That particular Cummins was rated at 305 HP and 600 lbs of torque. It had a GVWR of 11500# with a GCWR of 23500# when using the factory installed 4.10 gearing. Big difference when compared to a like equipped 2019 year model.
We were limited to trailers having GVWRs of 14.5K and below. Ours was 14.1K.
