Any Fuzion 322 or 310 owners towing with a GMC 2500 HD?

[ocho]

Ok, So I have weighed my truck. But first here are some numbers. I have the 2500 HD Long bed 2wd. Its the WT model with a few options. GM says the curb weight is 5120 lbs. My truck weighs 5800 lbs. The max CVWR is 9200 lbs. Therefore my max load capacity is 3400 lbs. When my 300MP is loaded, (golf cart, Harley, and food and clothes), it weighs 14,500 lbs. The tongue weight at that time is 2500 lbs., roughly 19%. Well within limits. Now, if my trailer is unloaded my tongue weight is 2700 lbs. or roughly 21%.

Am I missing something?

If not, I got lots of overhead for a cooler, a few cases of beer, and a 100 lbs or so of crawfish!!

If that is what your truck weighs loaded ready to go, that is where you are. With your truck you have all cards stacked on your side. work truck, 2x2, and I assume a 6.0 gasser (I assume). My guess is GCWR is 22K so your around 92.3% of that. A 6.0 gasser and 14,500 lbs.

Now others with diesel, EC or CC, eat up that margin and go over GVWR easily. With that Raptor and 2500HD easily half ton and more over its GVWR.

Sorry used that reference GVWR

GM says that my GCVRW of this truck is 20500. Ive read some where online that its is much higher if the load is a fifth wheel. I cant seem to find that , but if someone can and post here that would be great. Given those numbers I limit my 300MP gross weight to 14,800. Which is really no big deal because my 300MP loaded is 14,500 lbs. I can go up to 16,455 lbs., but I don't have that much stuff or a truck to pull it. I guess there is a couple hundred pounds variance either way, but I feel comfortable with where im at. And yeah, its the 6.0 L gasser and 6 spd auto.

Truck, 300MP, Harley, and golf cart is 20,300 lbs. Im close but still under limits.
