Crew cab, 8" bed
Specs:
Dry Weight (lbs/kg) 13345 / 6053.3
Payload Capacity (lbs/kgs) 3655 / 1657.9
GVWR (lbs/kgs) 17000 / 7711.2
Hitch Weight (lbs/kgs) 3185 / 1444.7
Here’s what I think I know, but as always you don’t know what you don’t know.
- Some, but not all trucks, need a hitch specific to their vehicle. (True or faults)
- My 3500 needs a specific hitch rather than universal ( True or False)
- I don't need a slider(True or False) probably false
- Not sure what it means, but should get one that moves both horizontally and vertically
- Best brands?
- I need an install kit also (True or False)
- I can install it myself or should have professionals (myself or professionals)
- What should it be rated at for Maximum tow weight?
What am I forgetting?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. |
It was my understanding that Class III trucks are limited to 14,000 GVWR. Has this changed?
