Total GVW

Something I just noticed so the GVW is 9000lbs, I would of thought it would be higher. What is it for newer than 07? I've been looking at travel trailers just thought I'd check the gross weight.

It's your choice, but GVWR isn't often a legally enforceable weight. It's a numbers game. The 3500 DRW and SRW have the same frame with higher ratings, as well as the same axles, and very similar suspension in the rear.

I try to keep my GVW under 12,200 since that was what the DRW was rated at for 3rd gens...but even then it's build for more when you look at FAWR+RAWR. My truck is currently hooked up to a TT, has 2 4wheelers, 2 generators, 30 gals of water, 7 gals of gas, and 2 chainsaws in the bed. My GVW is roughly 11,500. I did have to upgrade to 19.5's when I added the quads, but GVW isn't a number I let concern me.

GVW is the max truck wt. has little to do with towing. You want gross combined vehicle wt rating.

Thanks all for your feedback.
