What determines GVW?
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out what my truck is able to carry/tow. I get that the GVW is the total weight of the truck and contents my question is, is it the suspension or tires that determine that number? The reason I ask is my 69 has a GVW of 7500, the truck weighs 4800# so that only gives me a 2700# payload is that right? So if I want to tow my 3000# car on a 2000# trailer I would be overweight? If that is the case how does one increase the rating?
Thanks in advance.
