I've read all the weight topics I can find. Feel like im in the classroom when the instrucxtors asks, :Any questions?" and I answer, Ahh!! Now I don't see..."
and I am totally confused. Better to ask here where there are people whose brains work and know this.
I found a 2003 Chev 3500HD 4x4with tow package. Vortec 6l Engine rebuilt for performance side about 40k miles ago. Drives like a monster. Good feel to the truck and performs the way I used to build 350s for hot trucks and 4x4s. All in, all it checks out OK.
Taken off the weight tags. From what I've been reading here this should work. Truck will tow trailer plus a bit more with an equalizing hitch between the two and maybe air shocks. Comments please? I like the truck and the guy is holding it for me pending the weight readings.
Having dinner with RV friends tonight so I'll ask them as well.
The Truck
GVWR 8600 lbs

Thanks for any help.
