Confused on tow rating
One tow vehicle (Suburban) I'm looking at is rated as follows:
Dry Weight=5672
GVWR=7200
GCWR=11000
Yet this truck is "rated" to tow 8100 lbs with the 3.42 diff. I don't see how this adds up?
The standard diff is 3.08. Is the GCWR with this diff and they just don't post a higher GCWR with the 3.42?
If not, then from the math I see 11000-5672=5328 lbs. That would be 5328 for passengers, fuel, any cargo in the SUV plus the trailer weight and all it's contents!
How do they get to 8100? Or is this number just BS?
