I think that combined cargo means passengers and cargo combined.

And that matches the sticker on the hitch, and that matches what GM engineering told me in regard to a 2013 Silverado, when I contacted them due to a different spec on the hitch vs. the owner's manual.

SPECS:
  • 5.3L V8
  • 6-Spd Trans
  • 4-Door Crew Cab
  • Overall length: 230.03
  • Wheelbase: 143.5
  • Axle: 3.42
  • GCWR: 15000 lbs.
  • GAWR for front and rear axles: 3900 lbs.
  • max. towing weight rating: 9200 lbs
  • max. payload rating: 1662 lbs
Oh, don't worry, there's quite allot to confuse people. The 500 lbs thing isn't in any literature that comes with your truck, and it isn't stamped or stickered either. Then again, I don't think that a GCWR is anywhere either.

Don't have our trailer yet. We are looking for a lightweight Toy Hauler to haul my 550 lb motorcycle. I'd like a Wolf Pup but she wants something a tad bigger. This forum is helping a LOT with my research.

2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x2 Lone Star (Big Horn) Hemi 8 spd Auto 3.21 Rear End 140.5" Wheelbase

GVWR 6900
GCWR 13900

GAWR (Front) 3600
GAWR (Rear) 3900

Mfg listed tow rating: 8170

Payload (Yellow Door Sticker) 1490

I added Monroe Load Adjusting Shocks before I bought the camper. With loaded tongue and no WD, my camper levels my truck (see sig) (850+ tongue weight). Great $80 upgrade. No porpoising and tows great with my e2 hitch. I am thinking about adding Tuftruck HD springs TT-1211 designed for towing and going to LT 17" tires. POS OEM Goodyear P-Tires aren't great for towing.

We load as much as possible into the camper and with my family of 4 aboard I am 100lbs under GVWR per CAT scales. Camper came in at 6000 ready to camp. I need to go back to the scales to weigh with camper unhitched as I think my tongue weight is high (Yellow sticker UVW on the camper is 5919)

I'm towing a rockwood 8285 ikws 5er with a Z71 half ton 4 wheel drive with a 6.2 Liter engine and airbags. I have no problems and is very stable. Also getting 12.3 miles to the gallon on the average. Pretty good for everybody I've talked to that a half ton shouldn't do it. Oh and on the scale camper loaded is appox. 8500 lbs. with pin weight of 1400. So the thing is pick the right 5er for your trucks cap. and stick to it. Happy trails!!!

Only worried about the '13 when I first got it, that is why I contacted GM engineering. The 2015 I purchased two years later had the same spec on the hitch and in the manual; 800 lbs.

BUT, if you read the manual, there can be some confusions about this statement about 500 lbs max:
"If a cargo carrier is used in the
trailer hitch receiver, choose a
carrier that positions the load as
close to the vehicle as possible.
Make sure the total weight,
including the carrier, is no more than
half of the maximum allowable
tongue weight for the vehicle or
227 kg (500 lb), whichever is less."


But that is only for a hitch carrier that causes some unique torque to the hitch that you will not get with a trailer hitch with a ball.

Note:
I have asked on the forum here about tongue weight and the reply's with two bottles and battery plus an estimate of cargo in the TT between 1k and 1.5k of junk, I will have a hard time getting near the 15%.

I cannot think that I would ever get near the 1.5k of cargo unless I let the DW use the TT as a place where stuff goes to die.



How does your rig tow in the mountains? We've just placed a deposit on a 2017 26DBH.

DRY HITCH WEIGHG 765 lbs
UNLOADED VEH WEIGHT 6300 lbs
GVWR 7765 lbs.

TV:
2013, F-150 XLT 4x4. 5.0 with 3.55. 145" WB. Wondering if we bought bigger than we can handle [emoji31]
